We don't want peace over freedom. We will choose freedom over peace. We will go on with our fight for self-determination and democracy. But if things continue the way they are, I expect the situation to become more violent.
Zainab al-KhawajaWe will not keep silent, even if the Formula One is taking place. We will protest for human rights and freedom.
Zainab al-KhawajaIf someone is calling for democracy, he is calling for an end of a dictatorship and if this is the will of the people, this could also mean overthrowing the regime.
Zainab al-KhawajaThe government is not doing anything to help the country to heal. The government is just making cosmetic changes.
Zainab al-KhawajaThe people in the West are supposed to believe that Bahrain is a country whose people live a life of peace, but we suffer under a regime that does not want to hear our screaming. The people of more than 20 villages are participating in the protests. They are fed up with the fact that they cannot express their opinions freely.
