Last week, we noted a link by Nabeel Rajab, the head of the Bahrain Center of Human Rights, linked via Twitter to Pete Seeger singing "We Shall Overcome":

This is a song close to our hearts, with a message that is both universal and relevant to today. More than anything, it is filled with hope: if "we are not afraid...we shall live in peace some day...the whole wide world around".

We wanted to spread that message as far as possible. So we have created a version which is subtitled in Arabic.

Pete Seeger - We Shall Overcome | أغنية سوف ننتصر - بيتر سيجر

And taking advantage of the power of Twitter, we offer the hashtags in Rajab's original message.
