"Mr President, the situation in Bahrain appears to be very grim. The authorities continue to use force, to an unreasonable degree, against peaceful demonstrators calling for democratic change and reforms. The prison sentences of 15 years, received by doctors and health-care personnel for practising their profession, sound especially harsh. These medical professionals were caring for all those injured in the demonstrations, whatever side they were on, and were thus adhering to the ethical rules of their profession. Sentences such as these must be overturned, and these medical professionals must be allowed once again to carry out their responsibilities. Nor does sentencing civilians in military courts meet the criteria of a fair trial. All the details concerning the arrests of women and children on trumped-up grounds send a worrying signal regarding Bahrain’s ability to act in accordance with its international obligations. Listening to the will of the people is vitally important, and national dialogue must always be genuine."@en1
