Al-Eker under siege…

Five days, and Al-Eker is still under the brutal siege of the oppressive Bahraini regime.
No one is allowed in or out.
Under the unannounced curfew the residents of the area are not allowed to visit mosques for prayer, not even hospitals for necessary treatment..schools are disrupted.. and the residents are nearly short of food
Still, the various violations against them..go on, while the media is not permitted to reveal anything of the truth behind the dark siege
The state media denies any presence of the lockdown, indifferent towards the suffering of a whole village. All it had to say to the Bahrainis is, “The opposition is lying”
But the regime did allow one reporter in, only having made sure of his willingness to sell the regime’s lies.
The people of al-Eker made nonstop appeals and rescue calls, amidst ongoing threats of more brutality
And as the Bahraini people responded, promptly through repeated attempts to break the siege, and as they were harshly attacked…
al-Eker remained steadfast
The people of Bahrain had not let a minute of silence pass as the village of al-Eker is tightly isolated, and even food is halted
The opposition has held demonstrations in solidarity with al-Eker and against the oppressive siege, beside many protests in villages across Bahrain
This is an appeal to all international organizations and free media to visit the al-Eker village and deliver the painful truth of the sufferings of people who are solely punished for their demands of freedom and dignity.
