There is something VERY wrong when a King opens fire on his own people whom are peacefully protesting for change.

Here is some things we are protesting for:

* more jobs and housing

* the creation of a more representative and empowered parliament

* a new constitution written by the people

* a new cabinet that does not include Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, who has been in office for 40 years.

* the political prisoners to be released

(Nabeel Rajab, head of the Bahrainian human-rights group, said in a letter that the king could “avoid the fatal mistake committed” in Egypt and Tunisia by “the dissolving of the security apparatus” he said. There are more then 450 detainees)
