@khalidalkhalifa I'm VERY concerned by what I just heard re: my aunt's checkpoint experience. #Bahrain police tried to provoke her & found a 'لا سني لا شيعي بس بحريني' badge in her bag. The police ridiculed her asking if she really believes in it? She responded 'yes'. He threatened her & said 'Do you know what I can do to you?! I can do anything to you!'. Security is one thing but martial law or not, inciting sectarianism, hate speech & disrespect by the police is UNACCEPTABLE. If Bahrain is to heal this cannot happen. If Bahrain is to become united the law cannot impose sectarian division. What will they do to me when I say I am a Bahraini Muslim who (respects but) doesn't believe in religious divisions?
