QUESTION: Could we have a readout of Assistant Secretary Feltman’s meetings in Bahrain?

The Bahraini revolution which kicked off on 24 February 2011 has completed its first year. However, the protests have not stopped, and neither has repression. Peaceful protesters are still facing excessive violence by security services. Meanwhile, the authorities have not fulfilled its repeated promises of reform, amid shameful Arab and international silence.

Warning for graphic images.
This is the face of state terror against civilians in the US and British-backed Gulf oil kingdom of Bahrain – the latest victim a boy shot dead by police. But there will be no call by Washington or London for a Libya-style NATO intervention to protect human rights here. No call for regime change. No call for an international crimes tribunal.
