More

Another website manager has been summonded before the General Prosecutor tomorrow. And further websites have been blocked: www.alduraz.net and alduraz.com (although they missed a few other domains which I will not mention just in case the big bad monster is reading-BBM). Seems like it isnt just a BahrainOnline vendetta now, BBM has it's eyes set further.

A good question that needs to be asked is why has BBM decided to clampdown on the internet now? Is it to detract attention from the Committee set to implement the proposals of the Constitutional Conference which met a few weeks back? Or is it to hose down the furore enraging Samira Rajab's tactless comments? More likely the former. If anything though, this is only more likely to raise the calls for the return of the 1973 constitution that Bahrainis have been calling for since 1975, which was again hijacked by the King in 2002.

Asides from the constitutional conference, the UN discrimination conference in Geneva is dues to take place early this month (to which the BCHR is submitting a condemning shadow report), and the Committee for the Unemployed was also due to kick off its series of protests this weekend.

I guess BBM wasn't in the mood for his exams, so he set off the school fire alarm at the last minute.

Great to see the way the conspiracy theories coming out on this are going.
Let's compile them together in ONE place... and then keep an eye on which one was the most likely...
Another silly idea.
