“As Salam Alaykom” I greeted my mentor, Dr. Nada Dhaif, excitedly over a skype call in early May. We chatted briefly about the expectations and responsibilities interning remotely for BRAVO (Bahrain Rehabilitation and Anti-Violence Organization). She ended the phone call asking if I would be attending the Oslo Freedom Forum, and enthusiastically I told her yes. As a previous speaker of the forum she told me that she was so glad to hear that because attending the Oslo Freedom Forum is truly an experience of a lifetime. She then proceeded telling me how she and her husband were going to try to make it, however, due to the travel restrictions in Bahrain, there was a possibility that they might be denied to travel to Norway.
