Saudi-backed Bahraini security forces have arrested the daughter of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, the prominent jailed activist who has been on a hunger strike for more than two months.


Zainab al-Khawaja was arrested on Saturday for protesting against her father's detention.

Meanwhile, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights said on Saturday that Abdulhadi al-Khawaja has stopped drinking water.

The Bahraini activist has also asked to see his lawyer to write his will.

Khawaja, who holds dual Danish and Bahraini citizenship, was given a life sentence in June 2011 after being convicted on charges of inciting protests against the Manama regime.

Earlier on Saturday, Bahraini regime forces attacked demonstrators in several villages near the capital Manama ahead of the April 22 Formula One Grand Prix auto race.

Clashes broke out between security forces and protesters and police used tear gas and sound grenades to disperse the demonstrators.

Protesters were calling for the cancelation of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Bahraini activists say the Manama regime is using the auto race to cover up human rights violations in the country.

Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa has guaranteed the safety of the racing drivers and teams.

Bahraini demonstrators say they are determined to continue the protests against the controversial Formula One event, despite the brutality of the regime forces.

Bahraini activists say eight people have been killed by regime forces since March 17, 2012.

Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of protesters during the popular uprising that began in the Persian Gulf island nation in February 2011.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

Islam Has Massacred Over 669+ Million Non-Muslims Since 622AD

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
