The AFL-CIO is urging the Obama administration to suspend a trade pact with Bahrain over the Gulf nation’s attempt to crush pro-reform protesters. On Monday, authorities in Bahrain arrested two former parliament members of Bahrain’s main Shiite opposition party. Bahraini authorities have also ordered the nation’s main opposition newspaper to be shut down by next week and for three of its former top editors to be tried. Bahrain is a close U.S. ally and is home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.
