Bahraini blogger detained

Sunday, February 27, 2005

If you haven't read about it on Bahrania's blog yet, fellow Bahraini blogger Ali Abdulemam has reportedly been detained by Bahrain authorities. Although he doesn't blog too much but he does run BahrainOnline.org which is one of the most popular online forums in Bahrain. Batelco has been blocking the site for quite a while, but you can get there via this proxified link (thanks for the tip Strav). Anyways, go and read Bahrania's post which contains a translation of the statement issued by BahrainOnline.org

If any you readers have any more info about the situation then please leave a comment or email me.

Thanks moodz. I just spoke to someone who is at the Prosecutor's office right now and he confirmed what you said. Ali is still in custody.

The only new piece of information I got from him was that the reason why Ali's sister was originally detained was because Ali's internet connection was registered under her name.

And yeah... let's hope this doesn't become another AlKhawaja routine... I hope the govt has realized this.

Hey! call me chicken shit! but i maintain the fact that i had no damn idea what that website was all about when i gave a demo of proxify's features. A) i can't read or write Arabic, B) i'm a computer wonk and i do things tech-speak all the time, C) What da fuck is going on with arresting bloggers these days? 1st it was in Iran and now Bahrain? Seriously why was this dude arrested and on what basis?
