Meanwhile, in Bahrain

Folk fortsætter med at demonstrere for frihed og lighed mellem shiaer og sunnier:

Unge i Bahrain demonstrerer mod regeringen.

Og sikkerhedsstyrkerne slår ned, godt hjulpet af de ca. 1000 saudiarabiske soldater, der er rykket ind i landet:

Demonstranter forsøger at skaffe lægehjælp til en hårdt såret kammerat.

I mellemtiden erklærer USA, at de ikke betragter den saudiske indrykning som en invasion, og Hillary Clinton opfordrer igen “begge sider” til at udvise tilbageholdenhed.

Angry Arab viderebringer denne opsummering af de seneste begivenheder:

Pro-government thugs attack nurses at the university of Bahrain while mingling with riot police. They can be heard trashing the building (whereas the state television claims the protesters did it). When one of them attacks the nurses, he says “قاعدة اتعالجهم؟” or “she’s treating them?”

Two videos: 1) thugs inside the university; 2) thugs entering the university, freely mingling with cops. When spotted, the cameraman was shot at by the cops and attacked by a thug    14/3/2011

Video of police using live rounds: Same incident from a different angle:

A paper allegedly confiscated from a thug. it lists shi’a villages and block numbers. It has the Ministry of Interior logo on the top.
