Bahrain Update

A reader who wishes to remain anonymous sent me this from Bahrain:  "These two videos were both filmed yesterday. The first video is of a lone man (Mohammed Alhaiki) carrying a flag and walking straight to the Pearl Roundabout (where statue was demolished). This roundabout is now a traffic junction that has been closed off for over 6 months and surrounded by tanks and snipers.   The second video is in the village of Sitra. You can see a man standing bare-chested in front of police cars and forcing them to do a U-turn.  The point is that despite the severe violent crackdown, the people of Bahrain are as angry and fearless as ever. This scene is repeated across villages on a nightly basis and last till early dawn. The revolution is not dead, it is alive and kicking. It just isn't reported by the media because it is an 'inconvenient revolution'."
