IFHHRO expresses concerns on the situation of health workers in Bahrain
In a letter to Her Excellency Dr. Fatima Mohammed Al-Balushi, Bahrain Minister of Human Rights and Social Development and Acting Minister of Health, IFHHRO president Robert Simons, expressed our deepest concerns regarding colleague health workers who reportedly are still kept in detention, following the recent protests in Bahrain.
In the letter we strongly put forward a request to have carried out an independent investigation into the allegations of torture and other ill treatment against jailed health workers in Bahrain and ask the Minister to do everything in her power to realise the immediate and unconditional release of all Bahraini health workers.
