Bahrain: Demonstrations

Mahmood describing one of yesterday's demonstration in Bahrain for codification of personal and family status laws, he says: “Bahrain is a deeply religious country for the most part and they would not walk, but run to execute the religious leadership's requests, and run they did this afternoon by their thousands. Regardless of where anyone stands about this issue, this is democracy in action and I am privileged to have experienced it.”
