Leaving Guantanamo: Bahrainis Protest Prison
In Bahrain, a fledgling human rights community, some members of parliament, and New York defense lawyers, are trying to secure the release of three Bahrainis held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The men have been held at the remote military base for more than four years.
The groups want the Bahraini government to put pressure on the Bush administration. But it's not easy -- Bahrain may be considered an ally of the U.S. in the so-called war on terrorism but the government is not eager to annoy Washington.
