U.S. wants dialogue in Bahrain

WASHINGTON, April 19 (UPI) — The Bahraini government and members of the opposition need to find a political solution to turmoil in the country, the U.S. State Department said.

Human Rights Watch said assailants targeted the home of Bahraini human rights advocate Nabeel Rajab early Monday with tear gas grenades.

Human Rights Watch said authorities accused Rajab of fabricating photos showing apparent signs of torture on the body of a man who died in custody April 9. Human Rights Watch said the photos were authentic.

The minority Sunni-led government in Bahrain is facing criticism for its response to a Shiite uprising in the country.

Mark Toner, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, said Washington was pressuring authorities to show respect for human rights as well as advance political dialogue that leads to a resolution.
