Mahmood has been interviewed by the BBC - Arabic edition over the forced registration of websites occurring in Bahrain. It will be broadcast every hour on BBC news. You can listen to it in Kuwait on 90.1 FM (Thanks Forza) or at their website

This is an important issue for the Gulf and Arab countries for Mahmood is standing up for the rights to speak freely and openly, as well as having the government’s understand that people criticism isn’t a traitorous act but part of the social contract that is between the citizen and the state. For that criticism is a request for change and to get rid of the current problems that are holding back development and growth. The old method of “hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil” will just make us deaf, dumb, and blind to our problems and have them just get worse and worse until we are forgotten and left behind by the rest of the world.

So please inform everyone you know about this interview. They can listen to in in their car, or at home. This is something that everyone should hear and take part in for it concern all of us and not just Bahrain.
