US President Barack Obama has spoken to King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa of Bahrain and condemned use of force against peaceful protesters in that country.
Obama's telephone conversation with King Hamad came days after the government forces stormed a square in Bahrain's capital Manama and forcibly removed protesters who were demanding political reform in the kingdom. The violence has so far taken four lives killed and injured many.
"The President reiterated his condemnation of the violence used against peaceful protesters, and strongly urged the government of Bahrain to show restraint, and to hold those responsible for the violence accountable," the White House said in a statement.
"As a long-standing partner of Bahrain, the President said that the US believes that the stability of Bahrain depends upon respect for the universal rights of the people of Bahrain, and a process of meaningful reform that is responsive to the aspirations of all Bahrainis," the White House said.
