Bahrania has already posted the details about this, but just to make sure that everone visiting here is up to speed: as of this posting there are now a total of three moderators of BahrainOnline.org who are being held in Hoora prison. They are Ali Abdulemam (who also has his own blog), Hussain Yousif, and Mohammed Al Mousawi. Free them all.
Also, this story has been getting some much needed international attention. To name a few:
