    Bahrain expats launch opposition TV channel
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRtM2q22Ea0

    Bahrain's government stamped down anti-government protests in February, and since then hardly any news has filtered out of the island nation due to strict control over the media.
    Bahraini expatriates have set up a TV channel in London, with the aim of giving viewers around the world an unbiased account of what is currently happening in Bahrain.
    Despite having been plagued with obstacles since their launch last month, the small team behind the channel is determined to continue, but for now it can be watched only on the internet.
    Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from London.

    not surprising considering no one in the west wants Bahrain highlighted too much.
    A somewhat ironic statement from the saudais on syria this morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-14439303

    supporting oppressed peoples is a very selective business and not very favourable to those on the wrong side of western friendly totalitarian regimes.

    best of luck to those behind the tv station.

    I appreciate that Feb 14 wants to draw attention to this issue, but this sort of copy & paste stuff is not the way to do it. Next thread on the same basis (ie a copy-paste OP about Bahrain) earns a ban.

    moderately,
