13-year-old freed on bail: The
Juvenile Public Prosecution released a 13-year-old Bedoun, identified as Ali
Al-Habib, on KD 200 bail after listening to the statements of the officers in
charge of the case. Case files indicate the teenager was arrested for
participating in the recent Bedoun demonstrations. Sources revealed he
cried in front of the prosecutor, saying he was not aware of the purpose of the
demonstration.

Shame on them for arresting a child! If they really wanted these demonstrations to end, they would follow through with all of the empty promises they've made over the years.
In reference to your previous post about charities; I've asked everyone I can think of and they all say the only organizations they know that give to the Bedoun are all government entities. And no one I talked to felt those organizations really did much for the Bedoun at all.
For years I had wanted to start a non-profit organization solely for their benefit but didn't have the time or know how. Oddly enough, I do have a lot of friends here in America who I've educated on the topic and they're constantly asking where and how they can make contributions (financial and/or material). Sadly I don't have an answer for them either.
AG - As always, well said, girlfriend! I've seen SOME charities in Kuwait - and the Mercedes owned by the people who run them. Not thrilled by the prospect of going that route again.
I knew a woman who wanted to open a school for Bedoon children. I don't know how far she got with it.
I wish I could be like Maureen Al-Dakheel (Operation Hope) and start a charity to really benefit people at the grass-roots.
