Anyone else watch that interview with the UK advisor on Bahrain just now? He was saying that the protesters are "malcontents" and a "vociferous minority" who want to change Bahrain away from being a tolerant nation and are basically ruining it for the rest of the Bahrainis.

Apology posted:This ought to shut his mouth, an Al Jazeera piece filmed at a local Bahraini hospital. The video is fairly disturbing and features dead bodies, but the worst of it is blurred out: AJE was actually playing the hospital footage in the background while the guy talked about how there wouldn't be women and children at a protest in a less tolerant country. It was pretty well done. Scorchy posted:Was it Ian Henderson? No, his name was Clanwilliam.

Is it a completely stupid idea to email the April 6 movement directly and ask if there's a way people can donate or something to help out? I know there was some talk of donations for Egypt awhile back, but I think that was going to be through the military and I don't remember hearing about it since. It'd be nice to be able to help out, even a little. Note: there might be information about this on their Arabic website, but I can't read Arabic and their English site is awful.

quadratic posted:If you don't mind ending up on a government watchlist This is the saddest.  Thanks for the info, though! I will definitely send some money their way and try to convince my friends to do the same. Ramms+ein posted:Ok, on the right-hand side of their page, a ways down, it says: Thank you for looking this up. I probably won't end up donating to them at the moment since there seems to be a better option, but hopefully it will be useful for other people to know.

UltraShame posted:edit: backtracked and realised the original guy was talking about Egypt, not Libya, whoops. But still donate to MSF if you want to help in situations like these. I was just looking for anything, really. I only thought of April 6 because AJE did another program on them earlier today and it made me curious. I did end up donating to MSF, though.

Yeah, I don't actually know what effect, if any, the poll has on the final decision. Ayman Mohyeldin posted the AJ nomination on facebook, which is mostly why I thought it might be important. I really hope it's not indicative of the actual results, but I guess we'll see.
