12:05 am
. health care to the patients and protesters. the doctors did not obey the orders for such. decided to punish those doctors i was taken to a place for ten days that i didn't know where it was. all that time i was blindfolded and handcuffed i was in a solitary confinement for back to twenty one days. and they would just open the door of the cell and beat me up. there was a member of the royal family who directly was responsible of my torture she she was beating me and she electrocuted me almost two dozen doctors were arrested back then this for the fuel the anger of the protesters and turned the hospitals grounds into the scene of the rally the salmaniya hospital is bahrain's leading medical institution and that's where most of the arrests have been made after those events
12:06 am
it now looks like a fortress guarded heavily by the right police and not everybody can get in human rights activists say if you had suffered for speaking out against the regime and decided to come here for treatment you could make matters even worse for yourself anyone who was injured from the protests they cannot go to the hospital because they will be arrested beaten and taken to the jail last year many protester and in jail where torture and certain money are we have a story and testimony of people and protester being tortured. but in my country protests there were tortured inside. britain not who was charged with treason and sentenced to fifteen years in prison before being acquitted because of what she believed to be international pressure on bahrain's government the fate of many other doctors remains unclear the person who allegedly tortured not and others

which followed that was a general ban for all americans to adopt russian children due to the many cases of the well we should know for their rights and sometimes even that it was interpreted by many first as a portal for russia's response to the migrants here but what we've just heard from the prime minister going to be of is that although the general ban was passed on the week of the emotional week caused by the more than two active de facto legally these two things are not connected. well dmitri medvedev also spoke about the conflict in syria he says unless the country starts a process it will face an endless civil war moscow remains neutral while maintaining that foreign intervention should be ruled out the prime minister did say time is not on president assad side. i think there are
