Court in Bahrain Confirms Jail Terms for 13 Dissidents- Natalie Newman

In February of 2011, 13 dissidents were arrested with charges for attempting to over take the government. Even as the government is being taunted by critics that are demanding the government take action and make a change, the government continues to stay silent. The government has even stripped 31 people of their Bahrain citizenships because of their criticism. I personally believe the government needs to be more open minded to what their criticizers are trying to portray. Perhaps they have some good ideas on ways to improve the government and make it stronger. No progress will be made unless the government of Bahrain decides to begin to listen to their citizens. Communication is key.
