Al-Arabiya assists Bahrain in crackdown

Bahraini activists have accused the Saudi-owned Arab-speaking television channel Al-Arabiya of assisting the Al Khalifa regime in its brutal crackdown on protesters.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahraini activists have posted a video on the Internet showing Al-Arabiya interviewing demonstrators in Diraz village.

The activists say the interview was a trap jointly laid by the broadcaster and the Bahraini regime forces to identify and then abduct protesters.

Al-Arabiya, which is owned by a Saudi prince, has not covered the uprising in Bahrain since it began in mid-February 2011.
