Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): Activist Maryam Al-Khawaja severely criticized international musician André Rieu over his meeting with King of Bahrain.

"While you receive a medal from the dictator, my father is languishing in his prisons," she tweeted.
"André Rieu and Johann Strauss Ochestra have no problem meeting with dictators with blood on their hands, on the week of the 12th anniversary of the uprising when people were killed and are still imprisoned and tortured."
