Bahrain Activist Zainab Alkhawaja Released from Prison 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Bahrain, the pro-democracy activist Zainab Alkhawaja has
been released from prison after a month behind bars. Alkhawaja was
jailed in April protesting the imprisonment of her father, Abdulhadi
Alkhawaja. Zainab's release comes one day after the elder Alkhawaja
ended a more than three-month hunger strike.
