Talk Nation Radio: Fahad Desmukh: Western PR Firms Cover for Bahrain's Abuses
http://davidswanson.org/node/4383
The brutal monarchy in Bahrain hires Western public relations firms (not to mention a lawyer now in the news for marrying U.S. actor George Clooney) to clean up its public image. [C.I. note: Lawyer in the news for allegedly being engaged to George Clooney.]
We speak with Fahad Desmukh, a founding member of Bahrain
Watch and a freelance journalist based in Karachi, Pakistan. He grew up in Bahrain and was among the first generation of bloggers in the country, writing under the pseudonym of "Chanad Bahraini". Bahrain Watch is an independent research and advocacy organization that seeks to promote effective, transparent and accountable governance in Bahrain. See https://bahrainwatch.org
