Announcing the final destination of the Freedom Torch, Sanabis, 22 November

For the last month, EA's correspondent Mr Ahmed has been keeping a video diary of the progress of the Freedom Torch through Bahrain. He follows the first and second parts with this account of the Torch and the opposition's challenge, as they moves toward a final ceremony in Sanabis, near Pearl Roundabout/Martyrs Square:

9 November: Karanah

The "Freedom Torch" reached Karanah, known for its protesting spirit --- demonstrations take place every day in this small, poor village surrounded by farms. The narrow roads make it hard for police to attack, but they are stationed at the village entrances 24/7 to prevent any marches reaching the main roads.

The festival was at night, with a revolutionary running into the village and handing the Torch to Karanah's revolutionaries. A speech and revolutionary songs and anthems followed.
