  • Stanford senior Gabby Conforti and Stanford alumna Shivonne Logan ('19) sit down with Dr. Saeed al-Shehabi, to discuss Bahrain’s “forgotten revolution” of 2011. Bahrain experienced political upheaval and protests as the sentiments of the Arab Spring swept the region in 2011. However, unlike many of its Arab peers, Bahrain’s revolution was widely ignored and suppressed. The country has drawn international criticism as opposition leaders have faced imprisonment, torture, revocation of citizenship, and even execution. Gabby, Shivonne, and Dr. Shehabi contextualize the protests, and Dr. Shehabi shares his story as a Bahraini pro-democratic leader during the movement.
