Call for Bahrain to release US journalists

A US journalist and three members of her camera crew were detained in Bahrain on Sunday, Reporters Without Borders said yesterday, urging Bahrain to release the four American citizens “rapidly and without harm”.

In a statement, the group described Anna Day and her three colleagues as experienced journalists, who had most recently worked on virtual reality documentaries in Egypt and Gaza.

Bahraini police said earlier they had detained four foreign nationals.
