Bahraini repression

Warning.  She won't be famous.  Her name won't be circulated around the world.  Vigils won't be held for her and no news media would bother with her case because she happens to be a victim of the Bahraini government and not the Syrian government.  "US Citizens Huwaida Arraf and Radhika Sainath were arrested by Bahraini security forces in Manama on Saturday during a peaceful protest in near the Standard Chartered Bank downtown. Protesters had marched into the city center to reestablish a presence of nonviolent, peaceful protest leading up to the 1-year anniversary of the Arab Spring uprising in Bahrain."  (thanks Sam)
