The Associated Press reports — An 11-year-old boy accused of taking part in anti-government protests in Bahrain has been freed from prison pending his trial, a defense lawyer says.
Sixth-grade student Ali Hasan was allowed to return home Monday after spending a month behind bars, where he took his final school exams. He faces charges of joining an illegal gathering and other claims related to the ongoing unrest in the troubled Gulf nation. Read the full story.

Oh people , What you all talking about , Bahrain is Just like Suadia Arabia and Qatar and all these little emirates , They the prime example of Democracy , These our friends , They do no wrong , Its Assad fault that this 11 years old was in prison . Drone Assad . Kill all his Troops , Listen to Natanyahu ( Peace loving Monster ) . Hypocrisy .
What?
What are you? Off your meds again? Compare isreal to Saudi Arabia? you need more meds!!
YES Tom Tarbox You are right buddy , I need to get me some meds. So I can Tolerate Ignorance .
WTF? Bunch of backward ass camel jockeys!! 11 years old and put him in prison?? Morons!!
And when will his mother be released from the prison of those hot black trash bags women are forced to wear under Islamic rule?
Imagine if we could put the OWS pukes in prison....
We have the nicest allies in the Middle East.
This story isn’t surprising when you consider that they were arresting doctors and nurses for treating protesters.
I’m embarrassed that our 5th Fleet makes its home there. I was hopeful that our government would be a little more vocal about this a$$hattery, lest we be defined by the actions of our allies. While I’m sure that nothing meaningful has been done because they point out that they graciously let our Navy use their country as a base of operations, I’m also sure we’re giving them lots and lots of money to do so.
They were the first country in the Middle East that we made a free trade agreement with, the Bahrain–United States Free Trade Agreemen. Perhaps it’s time to put an end to that.
Isn't it interesting how our allies adopt some of our most barbaric practices. Imagine arresting a six-years old. Or, better yet, imagine prosecuting a ten-years old for first-degree murder. Yes, these things happen, and they have happened in the USA.
No No Guys , ITS ASSAD FAULT , He did it . Let our Hillary and McCain tell it . And that's what they will come up with . Our Generals tells them Alqaeda in Syria , Our news ladies were Attacked in Bahrain , Just for reporting there . Send arms To Alqaeda in Syria and send the troops to get red of this Christians loving leader in the ME ( ASSAD ) . and OH Bahrain , That's our friend . their Democracy and the Saudis are the Best in the ME . BS THAT'S WHAT OUR FOREIGN POLICY BEEN AND IT WILL STAY FOR EVER , As Long as these no good Gulf states got oil and money to buy our Politicians .
Looks like it's time to review the lawbooks again. Make some changes!
It is amazing what power some of these leaders have...it is so apparent that they are horrible leaders. You can see right through their skin into their greedy stone heart. They make life so so difficult for innocent women and children. They are inhumane, they abuse their power upon mankind.
Look at the puzzle as a whole. What is missing? What should not be? How can I make life good for my people? This is what a leader should ask himself.
As the government in Syria does to its people, so will Bahrain. The U.S has its naval base there so it will support the government of Bahrain, with weapons and support against its people. The same is happening in Syria. The Russians have a base in that country and will support its government to suppress the people. Funny how things like this lead to global conflict, get ready to die for oil. At least the rich will still have their stuff.
