The Khawajas on Valentine’s Day: Heartbeats of Activism via Al Akhbar
While February 14 will be celebrated as Valentine’s Day in many parts of the world, the streets of Manama, capital of the Island Kingdom of Bahrain will witness a “day of rage” to mark the one-year anniversary of pro-democracy protests.
Human rights activist Zainab al-Khawaja had hoped to be in the heart of the demonstrations. But, two days prior to the anniversary, al-Khawaja was arrested as she approached the Pearl Roundabout during a protest. On this Valentine’s Day of rage, she will likely remain in detention.
