		<description><![CDATA[While the Libyan civil war and the upheavals in Syria have dominated headlines in recent weeks, the repression of pro-democracy activists in U.S. ally Bahrain, an absolute monarchy governed by and for the country&#8217;s Sunni elite against the Shia majority, continues unabated. As Al Jazeera has documented, medical workers, athletes, and schoolgirls have all been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MARK ENGLER We often hear about the revolutionary power of the Internet to take down authoritarian regimes. Less often do we consider how online technologies can provide dastardly means for repressive governments to locate, monitor, and persecute dissidents. The geniuses over at the RSA Animate have recently posted an annotated talk by Evgeny Morozov. If [...]]]></description>
