Bahrain: Human Rights Activist Nabeel Rajab Detained 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
In the Gulf nation of Bahrain, the prominent human rights activist
Nabeel Rajab has been detained after posting tweets critical of the
government. Rajab, who leads the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, was
released from prison in May after serving two years for his role in
pro-democracy protests against the U.S.-backed monarchy.
