Bahrain has convicted 23 medics who were involved in last year’s protest against the kingdom’s regime.
The medics were either sentenced to three months in prison or a fine.
The convictions have come soon after a report released by Amnesty International, criticising the deteriorating human rights situation in Bahrain. The report said that oppressive practices by the government have become ‘increasingly entrenched’.]
The charges against the medics stem from treatment given to injured protesters, after demonstrations by Shias against the Sunni regime.
Over 95 medics were arrested and 20 of them convicted last year of attempting to overthrow the government.
