Mahmood,

You must realize that in order for ‘One’ to get rid of ‘the pesky branches’ growing on an Oak tree, the tree stump should be cut; what’s more, to guarantee that the tree does not regenerate back and grow branches again, the roots must be removed as well.

I fear that this is exactly what is being done to you. When you say that the case is not about them verses you, it actually is. You should know by now that to us, ‘Mahmood Al-Yousif’, you represent the means of getting to ‘the tenets of the freedom of expression’. You my friend are the messiah and are leading us all. Additionally, when one thinks of Bolgging in Bahrain, ‘You are in the forefront’ and represent the masses that aspire to publish their thoughts and opinions for the world to see and hear. Those who want to prevent this know these facts.

I am sorry to say that “Our legal system will come down on you hard”, it is inevitable considering what would be the alternative if you were allowed to win your case.

The only way out of this i suspect is the immediate intervention of The King or Crown Prince or the Prime Minister. I do not mean granting you forgiveness after the courts verdict, but rather the immediate suspension of this ridiculous circus act.

I hope I am wrong, but god forgive me if I’m not.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, in spirit ( :ninja: )

Good luck man.

I hope this will be the start of something good in Bahrain. Start of Freedom of Speech, Revision of the Publication Law, and Civil Servants realizing they are just that, Servants not Gods!

I guess that is the same problem all over the Arab world… Ministers, Politicians, Government employees, Cops, Military all seem to forget that they are employees of this country. They also seem to forget that being criticised for the job performed is not only healthy but in modern democracy is considered the vital way of improving services and above all performance.

I wonder about our civil servants…. They have an obligation and responsibility to all of us.

Take them on on Mahmood, and good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Show them that things don’t run us, but we run things….

I wish I could be their in your support. The best I could do was to call my congressman and ask him to keep an eye on this since the fleet is based in Bahrain. Good luck tomorrow my friend.

Mahmood,

I’ve thought about you throughout the day. I cherish my freedom my friend. I pray that due course will find you in a good place after you go to court. I had hoped Bahrain was making leaps and bounds for democracy and freedom of speech. Unite Bahrain’s fight for freedom for all.

Jen
