This is the fourth such case and is getting a little more than suspicious.

From Aljazeera--

Officials yet to confirm Kareem Fakhrawi's reported death - the fourth such case in recent days in the Arab Gulf state.

A Bahraini businessman who was a member of the country's leading Shia Muslim opposition group, Wefaq, has died in police custody, sources say.

There was no immediate reaction by state media to Kareem Fakhrawi's reported death and officials in the Arab Gulf kingdom were not available to comment.

I have to admit that part of the blame goes to the opposition parties. In particular, the largest opposition party " Al Wefaq". They should have rejected the extreme voices of "Haq Movement". The moment Hasan Mushaima step his foot back in Bahrain, the protesters lost support of the Sunnis. And that's not only in Bahrain. But, in the entire Gulf. Making it easy to accuse the opposition of having an Iranian agenda.

Shiite in Bahrain can't continue being loyal to Iran, No matter how deep the wound is.

Yes it's an apartheid. But, sadly no one will support them as long they are linked to IRAN

security forces will always do, what they have ordered/paid for. It has nothing to do with nationality, sects, etc..

But again, shall anyone kill/attack/accuse a person "X" for the job of person "Y", just because person "X" and "Y" have one thing in common, that they are of same nationality but with different jobs?

Really sad happening in Bahrain.

for sure he did not die a natural death. In places like Bahrain, Libya, Syria and Yemen this things go on and on but the best thing will be when the times for the guys at the helm comes to be put on trial and this same things are done to them

There was individual cases reported about the attack on Pakistanis by extremists within the opposition . But again, can we blame them?

What’s the nationality of the security forces? And how those forces treat any Shiite at check points & during the crack down on protestors

Yes, Bahrain is in a bad situation. Sadder still is that too many nations across the spectrum are invested in the oppression being successful. The opposition does not have even the remotest of chances.

What is happening in Bahrain is beyond disgusting. It saddens me that bahrain is taken over by sectarianism

The closure of civil societies, suspension of almost thousand athletes, doctors, teachers, professors & engineers & crack down on bloggers Can only be interpreted as an attempt by the Bahraini government to push Shiite for immigration

When the almost neutral CNN produceS such a report
