Global medical professionals demand immediate dropping of all charges against Bahraini medics

October 1, 2011

Twenty medical professionals in Bahrain have been given prison sentences of five to fifteen years in jail by military court, for helping those wounded by the regime. According to Physicians for Human Rights, there is "hard evidence of systematic and co-ordinated attacks against medical personnel because of their efforts to provide unbiased care for wounded protesters."

These medical professionals have already been subject to arbitrary arrest, torture, isolation and confinement. As one of those charged explained, “I was taken from my house by more than 30 masked men with guns in front of my son, whom I had to leave alone. I was physically and emotionally abused, blindfolded and handcuffed. They beat me – with their hands and legs, with a hose, and gave me electric shocks. They threatened to rape me. They threatened to kill me so that I would confess to false accusations. I was sexually harassed and humiliated."

Leading medical organizations—including Physicians for Human Rights, the American College of Physicians, England’s Royal College of Surgeons, the National Arab American Medical Association and the American Medical Association—have petitioned the Crown Prince of Bahrain to stop attacking hospitals, patients and doctors.

Therefore, we the undersigned medical professionals call upon the Bahraini authorities to immediately release these medical professionals and drop all charges, so that they may resume their work of providing unbiased caring for the sick and injured.

المهنيون الطبيون في العالم يطالبون بالاسقاط الفوري للتهم ضد الأطباء في البحرين

 

عشرون من المهنيين الطبيين في البحرين قد حكم عليهم في المحكمة العسكرية  بعوقبة السجن بمدد تتراوح من خمسة إلى خمسة عشرة سنة من قبل محمكة عسكرية استثنائية على خلفية مساعدتهم جرحى الاحتجاجات المطالبة بالديموقراطية في البحرين. بتقدير لجنة الأطباء من أجل حقوق الإنسان, فان هناك دلائل قويّة تشير إلى اسلوب منهجي ومنسّق في الهجوم على الكادر الطبي وذلك لجهودهم في مساعدة غير متحيّزة  للمحتجين الجرحى.

هؤلاء المهنيين الطبيين كانوا قد تعرّضوا إلى السجن التعسفي والتعذيب والحبس الإنفرادي. وكما أوضح أحد هم "  اُخذت من بيتي بواسطة ثلاثين من الرجال المقنّعين و المسلحين من أمام طفلي الذي كان عليّ أن اتركه لوحده. لقد تعرضت إلى التعذيب الجسدي والمعنوي وتعصيب العينين ووضع الأغلال في يدي. لقد ضربوني بأيديهم وأرجلهم وبخراطيم المياه و عرّضوني إلى صدمات كهربائية وهددوني  بالاغتصاب والقتل لأعترف بإتهامات كاذبة. كما تعرضت إلى مضايقات جنسية وإذلال ".

الهيئات الطبية الرائدة – بما فيها أطباء حقوق الإنسان، و الكلية الأميركية للأطباء،و الكلية الملكية الانكليزية للجرّاحين و الجمعية الوطنية الطبية  للأميركيين والعرب، والجمعية الطبية الأميركية، قد تقدموا بطلب ٍ إلى ولي العهد البحريني للتوقف عن الهجوم على المستشفيات والمرضى والأطباء.

لذلك نحن  المهنيين الطبيين الموقعين أدناه نناشد النظام البحريني الإطلاق الفوري لسراح كل المهنيين الطبيين وإسقاط كل الإتهامات ضدهم ليعودوا إلى أعمالهم ويقوموا بمد يد العون لكل الجرحى والمرضى بدون تمييز.

This is completely insane. Doctors are supposed to help people no matter what happens. They should not be going to jail for doing their job.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. How can you lock up doctors for treating the wounded? Wake up bahrain.
