American Women Deported From Bahrain

Two American women were deported from Bahrain on February 11 on the grounds that they were aiding anti-government activists. They were arrested at a protest in Manana, Bahrain's capital, and ordered out of the country. They have been accused of violating the rules of their tourist visas by joining protests to report on them. The protests are created by Shiites that want greater political and security power, they demand that the monarchy gives up some of its power. In the unrest, at least 40 people have died.
