| [Iran Press TV] People in North African and Middle Eastern countries are set to join massive "Day of Rage" protest rallies planned Friday against their unpopular regimes. Demonstrations are to take place in Tunisia and Egypt, where popular revolutions have already toppled the decades-long autocratic rule of their Western-backed dictators, setting off a whole host of anti-government protest movements in a number of other Arab countries. Forces against Libya's ruler Muammar Qadaffy have also called for protest rallies in the capital Tripoli. The 42-year-long regime of the Libyan dictator has fiercely opposed the uprising that began February 15, reportedly killing thousands of the anti-government demonstrators so far. In Soddy Arabia, where prisoner abuse and rights record have recently attracted an unprecedented wave of anger, online human rights ... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... campaigners have rallied support for a public display of outrage in the Eastern Province's Al-Ihsaa governorate, AFP reported. The protest is to be held in condemnation of Riyadh's recent arrest of a Shia holy man, in line with the kingdom's age-old suppression of many followers of the faith in the country. The street actions are planned to take place following Friday Prayers and are also expected to take place in the streets of Yemen, Jordan and Bahrain. |

| #4 Glenmore 'rage boy' is still incarcerated in India 9th case against Kashmir's 'Islamic poster-boy' He is America's hated poster-boy of Islam. He is the angry face of separatism in Kashmir. He is the “vigorous organizer of protests” on the streets of Srinagar. Thirty-one-year-old Shakeel Ahmad Bhat, tagged as the ‘Islamic rage boy’ in the West, has again been slapped with Public Safety Act, 9th t ime in a row since November 2008 when he was arrested in old city Srinagar, in the aftermath of Amarnath Land agitation. The bony cheeked and unkemptly bearded, Shakeel shot to infamy in 2007 after his ‘jaw-drooping, crooked teeth, closed-fist, eye-bulged-out’ pictures were carried by many international media outlets during a protest in Srinagar. He was quickly dubbed as ‘Islamic Rage boy’ and ‘Poster boy’. Soon his pictures made it to spoof cover of Time magazine, on T-Shirts, posters, mouse-pads, boxer shorts, bumper stickers and beer mugs. |
