Australian Deported From Bahrain Over Facebook Posts

Posted by timothy on from the bah-humbug dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Australian English instructor Tony Mitchell recently moved to Bahrain where he was offered a job at the state-run Polytechnic University. He described himself as a witness of the various horrifying events in the struggling country (see The Atlantic's four-part series). Mitchell was eventually fired, evicted, and forced to flee because of posts he made on Facebook."

    Mr. Mitchell was not;
    1. "deported" His job ended so he probably no longer had a valid work visa
    2. "forced to flee". He was advides by his ex-boss to leave as soon as possible. He could have refused and stayed until he something happened.

    How about a little truth in reporting. The issue is bad enough as it is without throwing falsehoods on top.
