Bahrain updates: or what does not bother Obama

"Today was the appeal for the 4 protestors who got death sentences for supposedly killing the policemen. Two got their sentences changed to life, two others are getting the death penalty. I can't believe they are actually going threw with this. The four men are so young.   In another trial today, Shaikh Al Muqtad, one of Bahrain's most important religious figures that was imprisoned, told the judge that drilled a hole into his leg and showed the judge the hole. He then said he has even more torture marks but he's not allowed to show them.  Oh they also arrested a high school girl from the Al Khawaja family (they really can't stand that family). She called her family and told them to bring her clothes. She says they tortured her." (thanks anonymous)
