No civilised Government or medical institution should engage in transactions with Bahrain until these doctors and nurses are free
Sir, The presence of The Times in the Bahrain court has allowed the persecution of medics and nurses to come to light. In treating those in need, respecting human life and speaking out against wrongdoing they have upheld the highest standards of healthcare professionals, at great risk to themselves.

Sir, The presence of The Times in the Bahrain court has allowed the persecution of medics and nurses to come to light. In treating those in need, respecting human life and speaking out against wrongdoing they have upheld the highest standards of healthcare professionals, at great risk to themselves.
Their treatment by the Bahrain authorities appears to be counter to every international convention. No civilised Government or medical institution should engage in transactions with Bahrain until these doctors and nurses are free.
