Dear Colleague,
As you said Al Jazeera do not cover efficently the attack of civilians in
Bahrein, I've forwarded your message to a colleague at the Al Jazeera Research
Center in Doha Qatar to see if he could be helpful.
I was in Tunisia during the revolution. The technique of sending "fake
civilians" within the crowd to perturbate their pacific demonstration has been
employed by tunisian police as well...
Hope none of the students has been killed.
Take care,
.............................................

Dear all,Thank you very much for your great support and various attempts to help
Bahraini people. The arab and many western media turn a total blind eyes to what
is happening in Bahrain, including AlJazeers. Your support gives me courage to
stand up and help my people and strengthens my believe in the true goodness
of humankind.
With your permission, I am attaching a letter by WLP which summarizes what
happened today in Bahrain.
If I have your permission, I would like to send you images, some of which taken
by students, as the media is not covering, and footages of the suppression of
the pro-democracy movement in Bahrain. Some of the pictures are very graphic. I
need your permission before sending them.
On Sunday 13, March 2011, Bahrain University students where attacked by
the government militia, dressed as civilians, while protesting. It
was violent and aggressive. Students where attacked by swords, bats, steel bars,
and knifes. I was with the students during the attack.There mare many people
missing since the attack early morning, including some injured civilians.
A state of emergency and curfew have been declared in Bahrain.
Than you again. bless you all.

Urgent Alert: Violent Crackdown against Protesters in
Bahrain; Hospitals Also TargetedMarch 16, 2011
http://www.learningpartnership.org/lib/violent-crackdown-against-protesters-bahrain-hospitals-also-targeted
WLP has just received the following appeal from our colleagues in
Bahrain:Civil society organizations in Bahrain are appealing for support, as
developments in the country today have led to serious safety risks for citizens
who have been protesting for democratic change since February 14.
Bahrain has been witnessing mass attacks by riot police, armed
militia, and most recently Bahraini armed forces and Saudi-Gulf forces, against
unarmed civilian protesters in the Shia areas of Manama, Muhraq, Sitra, Hamad,
and most of the northern and middle region along Budaya Road. The violence
culminated with a serious attack on Sitra Island on Tuesday, which left three
dead and hundreds wounded.
At dawn on Wednesday, military forces carried out a sweeping attack
in Lulu Circle (Martyr Square), where, in addition to riot police, Bahraini and
Saudi armed forces fired on protesters using live ammunition and tear gas, while
Apache helicopters circled the area.
On both days, ambulances from central Salmaniya hospital were
prevented from taking casualties, and hospital staff were assaulted. In Sitra,
the local medical center was attacked and overtaken by the militia. In Lulu
Circle, ambulances were barred, Salmanya hospital was attacked by riot police,
and many patients were arrested. Additionally, electricity was cut off in Lulu
Circle and all surrounding areas, including Salmaniya hospital, and mobile phone
service was cut off in the northern region of the country throughout the
morning.
We appeal to The Security Council, The United Nations, The Arab
League, and the international community, to curb these attacks, and to help end
this violence. We also appeal to relief agencies such as the International
Rescue Committee, Medecins Sans Frontieres, and the Arab and International Red
Crescent and Red Cross, to intervene to break the siege of hospitals and
assaults against medical staff.
