On a mission: Maryam Alkhawaja wants to
tell you about oppression in Bahrain.
The Kingdom of Bahrain is a small island
country near the western shores of the Persian Gulf with a population of 1.2
million, split almost evenly between its nationals and non-nationals.
It’s an oil rich country but has
experienced continuing protests and unrest since early 2011 inspired by the
regional Arab Spring, particularly by the majority Shia population.
Both her father and sister being activists
and been imprisoned, Maryam has been actively addressing the oppressed situations
of her country to the world, either online or on her phone, no matter where she
goes by reviewing claims, making cases, tweeting updates.
Enjoy reading and learning about one of the
most active activists of human rights.
