Maryam Al-Khawaja is the latest victim in Bahrains crackdown on human rights activists. Why does the US continue to support such a nation? This weekend Maryam attempted to travel to Bahrain, to visit her sick father, himself a prisoner of conscience who has been subjected to appalling abuses, and is now on a life-threatening hunger strike. On her arrival she was detained and told her citizenship had been revoked. She is now in detention, facing charges such as ‘insulting the king’ because she dared to criticise the regime’s abuses.
