Assistant Secretary Posner Comments on Bahrain

[RedSoxKal]

The protestors are violent. The culture of violence is embedded in their teachings. I salute the police for their brave work and sacrifices in guarding the security of Bahrain and the lives of the citizens.

I think Bahrain regime exceeded the limit of violations of human rights. Bottom line, serious action should be taken against Alkhalifa. Still torturing, detaining, arresting, trailing in milatery courts. Please USA this regime must do what Obama said in his speech. This regime such a dictators

Mr. Posner,

I noticed the tear gas canisters that are fire on us during peaceful protests where we only carry our national flag, are made in the USA by a company called "Non-lethal industries". I would like to ask you, is this the gifts you send us from America?

Dear Michael Posner,

You make me sick. You are aware, of course, that medical staff are still being prosecuted in military trials after being tortured into signing outrageous confessions. What hate speech did they utter as they tried to save the lives of protesters that your buddies shotgunned down at close range? Why do you sit there wringing your hands as if the US has no ability to place sanctions on this criminal dictatorial government.

You are complicit.

Isn't the US who provides the same regime with guns just couple months ago?

what a hypocrisy!
