Bahrain Update

From one of my reliable sources:  "23 doctors and 24 nurses will be tried in military court. They have been forced to confess to things they never did.

• Rola Al Saffar (head of the Bahrain nursing society) and Dr. Ali El Ekri were forced to confess that they stole blood bags to fabricate the truth about injuries
• Dr. Nabeel Hameed was forced to confess that he performed an unnecessary surgery that lead to the death of protestor Ali Redha Buhmaid
• Dr. Nader Deewani was forced to confess that he had a working relationship with the Iranian Ambassador and Iran

Here is the Bahrain Center for Human Rights post on the charges
