Doctor in Chains – Introducing New Website
This site has been setup to raise awareness about and show solidarity for the 20 health workers in Bahrain, who were:
arrested without warrants;
tortured;
forced to sign confessions under duress;
given an unfair military trial;
sentenced from between 5 years up to 15 years in prison.
Their crime? There’s a long list of charges which are listed here. But it appears that the reality is the Bahrani government are attempting to silence any of the medics who witnessed first hand the injuries inflicted by government security forces and are likely to speak out about what they have seen (many of them having spoken to the media before they were arrested).
