Bahrain rights activist questioned by authorities

Sun Mar 20, 2011


MANAMA, Bahrain – The wife of a leading human rights monitor in Bahrain says he has been questioned by security agents.
The interrogation of Nabeel Rajab, head of the Bahrain Human Rights Center, is part of widening pressures on political activists and others under emergency rule declared by Bahrain's rulers.


Nabeel's wife, Sumaya Rajab, says he was taken away by masked security officials early Sunday and released several hours later. She says the agents also confiscated computers, CDs and mobile phones.
Bahraini authorities are trying to crush a revolt by the nation's majority Shiites for greater political freedoms. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states have sent forces to help Bahrain's Sunni dynasty.
