Free Protestors

In Bahrain, anti-government have been arrested. In a special military court, 14 protest leaders have been convicted of activities that have only been related to freedom of expression. Others have been tried in absentia. The trial has sentenced eight to life sentences and the others have been tried to sentences from 2 to 15 years. None of these people have been convicted with fair process and there has been suspicion of torture. This must change. A society relies on freedom of speech to properly work and these citizens should have better. None of their right should be abused. This situation needs to change, like many situations around the world. These people should not be abused.
