Bahreïn, notre petit émirat stalinien

…Il faut donc espérer qu’un jour, par inattention, BHL prendra un billet d’avion pour Bahreïn plutôt que pour Benghazi. Il s’en reviendra pour informer son ami Sarko, et éventuellement BHO et quelques autres de la bande, des conditions actuellement en cours à Bahreïn, l’émirat très américaniste-occidentaliste protégé contre l’infection iranienne par les “pays-frères”, les autres émirats, par l’Arabie qui a la dent dure et la panique facile, par les USA ou ce qu’il en reste par conséquent.

The Independent présente des documents intéressants pour en savoir plus sur la vie courante à Bahreïn... Un article écrit à la suite d’un témoignage au jour le jour et détaillé obtenu par une association humanitaire de médecins, Physicians for Human Rights est publié ce ce 21 avril 2011. On peut ainsi être informé du traitement fait aux médecins pour les empêcher de soigner les blessés de la répression en cours dans l’émirat, puisque le quotidien décrit dans le détail, à partir d’une correspondance électronique entre Bahreïn et des médecins britanniques, les conditions générales faites aux médecins et personnels médicaux à Bahreïn.

«The intimidation and detention of doctors treating dying and injured pro-democracy protesters in Bahrain is revealed today in a series of chilling emails obtained by The Independent.

»At least 32 doctors, including surgeons, physicians, paediatricians and obstetricians, have been arrested and detained by Bahrain's police in the last month in a campaign of intimidation that runs directly counter to the Geneva Convention guaranteeing medical care to people wounded in conflict. Doctors around the world have expressed their shock and outrage.

»One doctor, an intensive care specialist, was held after she was photographed weeping over a dead protester. Another was arrested in the theatre room while operating on a patient.

»Many of the doctors, aged from 33 to 65, have been "disappeared" – held incommunicado or at undisclosed locations. Their families do not know where they are. Nurses, paramedics and ambulance staff have also been detained.

»Emails between a Bahraini surgeon and a British colleague, seen by The Independent, describe in vivid detail the threat facing medical staff as they struggle to treat victims of the violence. They provide a glimpse of the terror and exhaustion suffered by the doctors and medical staff.»

Le texte est commenté par un éditorial du docteur Richard Solloms, directeur adjoint de Physicians for Human Rights, publié ce même 21 avril 2011 dans The Independent. Cela, pour fixer le sens des choses et de la bataille humanitaire livrée par le bloc américaniste-occidentaliste

«In two decades of conducting human rights investigations in more than 20 countries, I have never seen such widespread and systematic violations of medical neutrality as I did in Bahrain.

»Bahrain's ambulances, hospitals and medical clinics as well as its physicians, nurses, and medical staff are all being targeted. It's pervasive and ongoing. These attacks violate the principle of medical neutrality and are grave breaches of international law.

»Doctors have a special role in society and have an ethical obligation to treat all people equally. In Bahrain, as they treat protesters and wounded civilians, they have borne witness to incredible human suffering. Treating these patients has provided physicians with unparalleled evidence of the atrocities committed by the authorities, the security forces and riot police. Their knowledge of these atrocities has also made them targets. At least 32 healthcare professionals have been abducted over the past two months and are being held incommunicado by security forces. […]

»Unfortunately, the doctors do not have to be taken to detention centres to suffer violent attacks. We have documented the story of six doctors beaten by security forces in a Salmaniya staff room. When security forces are capable of such brutality in a hospital, one can only imagine what happens in a detention centre.

»These attacks also put the families of doctors at risk. We interviewed the family of one surgeon who was ripped from his family, blindfolded, handcuffed and dragged from his home in the middle of the night. These systematic attacks have paralysed many health professionals in Bahrain with fear. Many are too terrified to go to work. Travelling to a hospital or clinic often means passing through road blocks where they must present identification and are vulnerable to attack. Arriving at the hospital or medical centre does not provide safety either, as police and security forces also visit medical centres.

»We have documented this type of abuse in the past. In 2008, the entire healthcare system in Zimbabwe collapsed under Robert Mugabe, and doctors were targeted in a haphazard way. The shocking difference in Bahrain is that attacks appear to be systematic. It must stop.»
