The Nation:

The death toll from the week-long unrest in Bahrain rose yesterday to seven, after one of the protesters shot by security forces on Friday died from his injuries.

Abdul Radha Bu Humaid, a 32-year-old father of three, was shot in the head when security forces fired into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators on Friday, wounding more than 80 people. "He was brain dead, but then his heart stopped," said Dr Nehad al Shirawi, an ICU consultant at the Salmaniya Medical Complex, where Mr Bu Humaid's wife Aqeel works as a pediatric nurse. Hospital sources confirmed that 572 people have been injured during the past week, many from tear-gas inhalation and birdshot wounds.

Shortly after Mr Bu Humaid was pronounced dead, dozens of his friends, relatives, doctors and nurses filled the intensive-care ward, some wailing and crying.

"My feeling is I am happy. I am very proud of my son. The victory will come from the blood of my son," said Mohammed Bu Humaid, 60, after his son's body had been carried to the hospital's mortuary surrounded by hundreds of mourners.

Bahrain doctors who helped protesters jailed for 15 years

September 29, 2011 22:09:00

Tears streamed down nurse Fatima Al-Essa’s face as another young man was rolled down the hospital hall on a stretcher, writhing in pain.

It was Feb. 18 and nearly every room on the floor of the Salmaniya Medical Complex was filled with wounded protesters and doctors tending to their injuries.

Bahraini security forces had shot at protesters as they marched toward the Pearl Roundabout, a monument in the capital city, Manama. The soldiers fired high-velocity rifles, so strong that when a bullet hit a demonstrator in the head, it snapped his neck.

“They are shooting to kill people,” Al-Essa said.

She took my hand and shepherded me into a room where Mohammed Khalil Sham lay on a gurney, a bullet lodged just millimetres from his right femur.

“This is my country,” she said. “They are killing, shooting my people. I will go and protest to bring peace.”

Around us, doctors, nurses and medics sprinted from bed to bed, wounded protester to wounded protester. Several of these medical professionals are the same ones who, on Thursday, were handed lengthy prison sentences by a Bahraini security court. Some face up to 15 years in jail.

The prosecutor claimed the 20 medical workers used the hospital to hide weapons, incite the overthrow of the Sunni government and provoke sectarian hatred.

The court charged that the doctors forcefully occupied the sprawling medical complex for “political purposes.”

That is not what I saw in the days and nights I spent at the hospital in February.

I saw doctors, indefatigable despite working for days straight, treating Shiite demonstrators who had been injured by tear gas, projectiles and bullets.

Some of them criticized the actions of the monarchy to a swarm of foreign reporters who descended on the hospital, not to stoke the flames of revolution but to stop the death and damage the government had unleashed on its citizens.
