Andrew Anderson is on his way to Bahrain following the recent clamp down there and the arrest of former Front Line colleague and friend Abdulhadi Alkawaja.

Mohammed al- Tajer, a prominent human rights lawyer has also been arrested - http://www.frontlinedefenders.org/node/14839 "I met the distinguished Mohammed al-Tajer last year, his arrest shows the authorities are abandoning all pretence of the rule of law. Heading to Bahrain in the morning, the situation looks bleak. And very worried for friends in Syria too."
