DUBAI: Two American activists were arrested in Bahrain on Saturday during pro-reform protests against the monarchy.
According to witnesses on the ground in Manama, Huwaida Arraf, a Palestinian-American and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) – a nonviolence civil disobedience group in Palestine – was seen taken by police from a march in the capital.
She had been attempting to reach the focal point of protests at the Pearl roundabout.
Radhika Sainath, an American-Indian activist, was also detained during the same march.
Arraf, who chairs the Free Gaza Movement, and Sainath, had both arrived in Bahrain in recent days along with other western activists to express their support for pro-reform protesters on the first anniversary of the start of the Bahrain uprising, on February 14, 2011.
Bahraini authorities confirmed their arrest, saying the two would be deported “for applying for tourist visas under false pretenses.”
