In solidarity with the people of Bahrain

 

 

Bahrain locks down kingdom as uprising surges 

"...Doctors at the country's main hospital said their facility was taken over by security forces, blocking physicians from either leaving or treating the wounded on site.

THIS IS THE PEOPLE AGAINST THE TYRANT!
