"Mr President, the Arab Spring which started in North Africa has spread to most Arab countries, bringing with it a wave of demonstrations, unrest and rebellion against the ruling regimes. This wave of unrest did not spare Bahrain, but the King of Bahrain has decided to stop the protests from spreading. He appealed to security forces from the Gulf Cooperation Council to help him restore order in the country. As a decision taken by the recognised authorities of a country, I believe that the deployment of GCC security forces can be respected. However, the way the Bahraini administration has treated doctors and paramedics going about their ethical duties and treating demonstrators injured by the security forces is worrying. The continuing repression used against demonstrators and political activists has also created misgivings as regards the civilised resolution of political disagreements. The majority of governments in the Arab world have decided to use force against their political opponents. The wiser and more cautious ones, however, have entered into some degree of dialogue with representatives of their discontented subjects and offered solutions and outcomes to resolve the problems by peaceful means by coming to some sort of agreement. I believe that we should advise the King of Bahrain to take the same route."@en1
