DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have detained a blogger and rights activist who says he's gotten death threats for calling for political freedoms in the Gulf nation.
Ahmed Mansour's wife and a colleague say he was detained Friday at his Dubai home.
Mansour told The Associated Press Thursday that he's been getting threats for signing a petition calling for an elected parliament. The Emirates is an alliance of seven sheikdoms where political activity is severely restricted.
Mansour's wife, Nadia, says 10 policemen searched their home, seized two laptops and took him into custody.
Another political activist, Mohammed al-Mansouri, also reported the arrest.
Police and government officials could not be reached for comment.
