Bahrain frees U.S. journalists but keeps its own media behind bars

CAIRO — Four American journalists left Bahrain this week after they were arrested by authorities who accused them of "participating with a group of saboteurs who were carrying out riot acts." Their arrests made headlines – and drew swift attention from the U.S. government.

Abduljalil Alsingace is in jail, sentenced to life. Most people have never heard of the Bahraini journalist and blogger. He has no backer to apply pressure for his release – or even to receive humane treatment in prison. His plight attracts virtually no international attention.
