A political analyst has dismissed Western media’s purposeful ignoring of Bahrain’s situation as unjustifiable, describing it as part of a “hidden agenda” to turn a blind eye to the miseries of the Bahraini people, Press TV reports.

“There is a total blackout in the Western media on what is going on in Bahrain,” Saeed Shehabi, with the Bahrain Freedom Movement, said on Wednesday.

“I believe that there is hidden agenda” with Western media which are totally ignoring the plight of the Bahrainis while concentrating on other places of interest to them,” he added, stressing that such policy “cannot be excused or understood.”

The analyst went on to say that the Bahrainis have been persistent in their daily protests, which is indicative of their determination to get a political change in their country by themselves, without relying on the US and the West to change the situation.
