"Mr President, Commissioner, the Arab Spring has also affected Bahrain. Last year there were already some signs of unrest in Shia areas. The demonstrations intensified in February 2011, and increased unrest lasted until the beginning of June, when a general state of emergency was declared.
Nevertheless, there continue to be human rights violations on the part of the royal family against the demonstrators. Hundreds of people have been detained and many trials held. For example, in the summer, 10 opposition leaders were given life sentences. The sentences handed out to representatives of the opposition and activists have been exceptionally harsh. Furthermore, doctors and hospital staff have been persecuted. This happened, for example, at the start of September, when they were imprisoned and then, later on, freed as a result of western pressure.
We still need to insist that the decisions of the military courts should be reversed and also that civilian trials should be transparent and conform to international standards."@en1
