Police in Bahrain have detained prominent blogger and rights activist Zainab al-Khawaja during a protest near the capital Manama, reports say.

Security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of anti-government protesters trying to block a main road, according to witnesses.

The Gulf kingdom's Shia Muslim majority have staged regular protests in the past 10 months demanding more rights from the Sunni-dominated monarchy.

King Hamad has pledged reforms.

The latest unrest comes during a visit to Bahrain by the US state department's top human rights envoy, Michael Posner.

He welcomed moves by King Hamad to address rights abuses, but urged him to do more.
