Human rights activist Nabeel Rajab, the head of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, has been arrested once again. This time, he is going to serve a three-month prison sentence for his messages on Twitter,  found guilty of "insulting" the people of Muharraq village.

This is "reform".

This is a reform where a man is repeatedly detained and then convicted for 140 characters on social media but no one has been convicted of:

- The murder of dozens of protesters. 
- The torture in Bahrain's prisons. 
- The teargassing of residential areas where children have choked to death. 
- The trial and imprisonment of doctors for treating injured protesters. 
- The killing of Bahraini citizen journalists.
