SEP 2010 UPDATE: Ali arrested one more time
After being released five years ago, our friend, blogger and online activist Ali Abdulemam has been arrested by the Bahraini authorities once again. He was arrested last night after he received a phone call summoning him to the National Security Agency.
According to the news release by the Bahraini government's media outlet, Ali was accused of "spreading false news" on the BahrainOnline.org discussion forum.
His arrest coincides with a severe government crackdown on opposition activists in recent weeks, and accusations of a supposed "terror network" involving several political and human rights activists.
His arrest also coincides with a recent government crackdown on websites and online discussion forums.
