Bahrain’s highest court has upheld the sentences of nine medics convicted last year for treating demonstrators during anti-government protests. The longest sentence went to the former senior medic at Bahrain’s top hospital, who was given five years in prison. The eight others received sentences ranging from one month to three years. The prosecution of the medics and their torture while in custody has been widely criticized. They’ve been free on bail for one year but could soon be remanded to prison.
