Its a crime to tend to the wounded...
Bahrain's top court confirmed the jail sentences of nine doctors for their role in last year’s pro-democracy protests, state news agency BNA reported. The medics will be imprisoned for up to five years.
On Monday, Attorney General Abdul-Rahman al-Sayed said the country’s Court of Cassation rejected all of the defendants’ appeals and upheld the verdicts, BNA said.
The nine medics were among the twenty individuals tried by a Bahraini military tribunal in September 2011. The tribunal charged the doctors with felonies for their role in the February protests, which included treating antigovernment activists wounded by security forces and reporting those injuries to foreign media. Some of the medics also participated in the protests....
Repression continues in Bahrain.
A court in Bahrain has sentenced the prominent pro-democracy activist, Zainab al-Khawaja, to two months in prison. A judicial source said she had been found guilty of destroying government property, which her lawyer said related to her ripping up a picture of the king. The court also reportedly adjourned until October two cases - taking part in an illegal demonstration and entering a prohibited area.
Ms Khawaja has been detained several times in the past nine months.
Bahrain is home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, which patrols the Persian Gulf and is a strategic check against Iran.
I guess that explains the reluctance of the US et al to rail against the Bahraini regime.
I say we arm the rebels, send in some snipers to shoot people randomly from the rooftops, send in a bunch of crazy salafist al qaeda jihadis bristling with automatic weapons and rpg's, push for sanctions in the UN, start a huge disinformation campaign about atrocities committed by the regime on al jazeera, CNN, RTE, BBC, fox news, push for no fly zone, start a fake peace process imposing daft conditions only on the regime but ignoring the rebels.
Then sit back and watch the country descend into bloody chaos.
Afterwards, we can manoeuvre in our own guy we have groomed for the job then do some nice oil and rebuilding of infrastructure deals and get paid for the cost of the war by the nutty jihadis who take over the country and impose strict sharia and we can just turn a blind eye while the people in power massacre and ethnically cleanse the minority faiths that remain.
How does that sound?
