CALL TO ACTION: Sentencing of Bahraini Doctors 29/09/11
If they go in person to the hearings, they will be taken into custody instantly sentencing is passed.
Mrs. Jalila Al Salman, the woman who is deputy of the teachers union, and was on hunger strike with Mrs. Rula Al Saffar, was sentenced in absentia to three years imprisonment last week.
Her associate Mr. Abu Deeb, Head of the Teachers Union, has been remanded in custody and sentenced to ten years.
The life sentence of Mr. Abdulhadi AlKhawaja (a pioneer of Human Rights) has today been upheld.
Currently, women and children being plucked from the streets and detained and tortured as a matter of course.
The daily calls I’m receiving are mounting in number and sounding increasingly helpless, hopeless and in genuine despair.
People are perplexedly trying to find a way to make an impact and are exhausted with their frustrated efforts.
An action forum is needed to collaborate on the direction of efforts.
The Irish Medics Solidarity fast which, many believe, drew positive media attention to the Bahraini plight, has been mentioned countless times as a focal point which gave people hope and a mode of access to international news.
There are people who read this from all corners of the earth, and as a world citizen I urge you all to be upstanding in your efforts to continue to publicly oppose the cruel machinations of this despicable regime.
There is no time to waste. We are being looked to and depended upon to act in some form.
Please advise if you have suggestions that we may cooperate on, en masse, to make productive impact? @taraaogrady
