In Bahrain, police have detained a leading human rights activist and her one-year-old son. Zainab Alkhawaja is the daughter of longtime activist Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, who is imprisoned under a life sentence. Zainab’s arrest came on the fifth anniversary of a violent crackdown on the Arab Spring uprising by the Shiite majority against the Sunni monarchy in Bahrain. Human rights groups have called for her immediate release. Bahrain is a close U.S. ally, home to the Navy’s Fifth Fleet.
