Bahrain Newspaper Founder “Dies In Custody”

April 18, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Committee to Protect Journalists:

Fakhrawi died Tuesday, a week after he was apparently taken into custody, according to news reports. Human rights defenders told CPJ that Fakhrawi had gone to a police station on April 5 to complain that authorities were about to bulldoze his house.

He should have behaved like Aljazeera and kept quiet on Bahrain..

Update: For real coverage of Bahrain, the British media is doing an excellent job..
