Bahrainis fight torture with hunger strike

Click here to access video interview from Press TV (Iran).
Press TV has conducted an interview with Nabeel Rajab, president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights in Manama, to further talk about the issue.
I am posting this because of the disappearance of any news about the Bahraini insurrection in US mainstream media. This lack of coverage is in stark contrast to the extensive coverage being provided for the insurrection in Syria.

Bahrain is the site of the US Fifth Fleet, and Bahrain has close political ties with Saudi Arabia, a key ally of the US government. Both are autocratic kingdoms where violations of civil and human rights are routinely committed by their governments.
