QUESTION: And then – okay. And then in Bahrain, there are two activists now, human rights activists, including this woman who today ripped up a picture of the king in court, Zainab --

MS. PSAKI: Yeah.

QUESTION: Do you have anything to say about her or the other guy, the guy --

MS. PSAKI: Yes. We’ve seen reports of Ms. Khawaja’s arrest and detention. We’re following the case closely, and as in any countries, we call on – any country, we call on Bahrain to ensure equal treatment under the law and to advance justice in a fair way. We again urge the Government of Bahrain to take steps to build confidence across Bahraini society and to create an environment conducive to dialogue. I think – were you referring to Nabeel Rajab?

QUESTION: Mm-hmm.

MS. PSAKI: So we understand that his trial will begin on October 19th, so on Sunday. An embassy official plans to attend. As we consistently say around the world, we do not agree with prosecution of individuals for crimes of peaceful political expression. We continue to call on the government of Bahrain to abide by its commitment to be fair – to have fair and transparent judicial proceedings, and we urge the government to drop the charges and resolve the case as expeditiously as possible.
