Bahraini activist Maryam Abdulhadi al-Khawaja smiles in the face of adversity.
Two frogs fall into a bucket of milk and can’t jump out again. One gives up paddling and drowns; the second one refuses to do so and keeps paddling until the milk turns into cream and it is able to get out.
This is a story Bahraini activist Maryam Abdulhadi al-Khawaja has heard many times from her father, activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja. It’s a story about resistance, fighting the fight, keeping your chin up. Ultimately, though, it’s a story about hope.
