Update from Bahrain

L. from Bahrain sent me this:  "I hope this email finds you well. Below are some links and updates that you may wish to add them to your blog:   BAHRAINI men have been raped, tortured with electric shocks and beaten by government security forces holding them without charge in recent weeks, The Times of London reports.  



Human rights groups furious over revelation that British military personnel run courses for snipers deployed to control protests in Bahrain.  A fresh wave of protests started today in Bahrain. Shotguns used liberally to disperse crowds reportedly hitting women and men. The Injured were taken away by protesters as they will get arrested if they're taken to a hospital.   Finally, there's an eye witness (but yet unconfirmed) report that A... the Freedom Poet has been repeatedly raped by her interrogators and had her lips stapled by paper staples. She's reportedly in a coma.   With my best regards,"
