Massacre in Bahrain

[Pete Zicato]

Evidently while international media are focused on Japan, there is a massacre going on in Bahrain.

My parents and friends are reporting via tweets and facebook that the 1,000+ Saudi troops in Bahrain have started hunting down villages that are populated by Shia protesters. I'm 21 and the best comparison I can give is when you get 5+ stars in Grand Theft Auto - tanks EVERYWHERE. They are now actively taking occupying these villages and shooting to kill. I'm a Politics student and it is clear to me that what Bahrain is doing contravenes various United Nations charters and I cannot understand why this is being allowed to happen. This is a desperate situation. Above all, its so unfortunate that other, very distressing events are happening across the world because unfortunately the media only want to cover the 'top 3' bad things and then move back on to useless filler. Hopefully Reddit can help spread the word.
