Thank ESPN.

November 14, 2011

ESPN has done a hard-hitting piece on Bahraini athletes who were allegedly tortured because they protested against their US-backed dictatorship.

The 12-minute video is worth watching:

ESPN: The Athletes of Bahrain

Not only does the video talk about the crackdown on protestors, but it also reports on the US military alliance with Bahrain’s dictatorship. ESPN even covers the pending $53 million US arms sale to the Bahraini government — as well as Congressional efforts to stop that sale.

Please take a moment to thank ESPN for this important piece.

We will send a formal thank-you letter to ESPN that includes your name.

Please tell your Member of Congress that you oppose their vote.  And if your Member of Congress was among the brave minority who did not oppose Palestinian efforts, please thank them.

Mubarak may be gone, but his laws are still here.
