FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
A Bahraini blogger and human rights activist, Ali Abduleman, says he has been granted political asylum in the UK after emerging from hiding after two years.
Ali Abduleman, who resurfaced in London, said he was “forced
into hiding because of the brutal regime we have in
Bahrain.”
The former IT specialist, who founded a prominent online blog in
1998, did not go into details of his life in hiding so as not to
endanger his family who were are still in Bahrain, he told the IB
Times UK at the Oslo Freedom Forum in London.
However, Thor Halvorssen, the president of the Human Rights
Foundation and founder of the Oslo Freedom Forum, described Ali’s
spectacular escape route to the UK, which involved being smuggled
out of Bahrain to Saudi Arabia in the secret compartment of a car,
from where he made it to Kuwait, sailed to Iraq with the help of
fishermen, from where he flew to London.
“I have to thank Great Britain which gave me asylum very fast,
but I request they put more pressure on the regime in Bahrain.
Supporting such a regime is not helping to solve the issue, just
creating problems,” Ali said.
He also described spy software, used by the Bahraini government to
spy on dissidents, as produced by UK company Gamma
International.
“More than 16 tweeps (Twitter followers) have been arrested in
Bahrain with the use of Gamma tools because of their
activities,” he said.
The UK campaigning group Privacy International has asked HM Revenue
and Customs, the government department which overseas exports, to
investigate Gamma International’s breach of the export control
regime last November.
Ali was first arrested in 2005 on charges that included inciting
hatred against the regime and publishing false information. He was
released but was arrested again in September 2010 along with 22
other activists as part of a government crackdown on
protestors.
Authorities accused him of seeking to topple the “
political regime through illegal means ” and of being
part of a
“terrorist network”. Britain’s Home Office doesn’t
comment on individual asylum applications but the Bahraini interior
ministry denied that Ali had been arrested because of his political
views but because of his “i
nvolvement with senior members of a terrorist network.”
After his arrest, the next his family heard of him was a news
story from a government news agency that reported he was being
questioned and had been receiving funding from a London-based
‘terror mastermind.’
Ali says he was routinely tortured while in jail. However, in a
bizarre paradox, just as the pro-democracy protests erupted onto
the streets in February 2011 he was pardoned by King Hamad and the
day after his release was taking part in the protests at Manama’s
Pearl Roundabout, which has been dubbed Bahrain’s ‘Tahrir
Square.’
When a few days later police raided his house Ali decided to go
into hiding, this was the last time he saw his wife and
children.
“I feel pain because I am not in my homeland. I did not
choose this. I did not want this, ” he told Reuters on the
sidelines of the London conference.
