The U.N. condemned Bahrain's brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters Friday. Human rights groups say that since March, 34 people have been killed and more than 1,400 arrested. And now, Bahrain has put doctors on trial -- just for treating injured protesters. CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips spoke with one doctor who faces a long prison term.

Quote:

"I was sentenced for 15 years in prison," she said. "It was a complete total shock."

The World Medical Association has called the sentences handed down to 20 doctors "totally unacceptable." The convictions were based on confessions -- some broadcast on TV, and some, as in Dhaif's case, extracted under duress.

"I was given an abundance of papers to sign while I was blindfolded," she said.

"You were given papers while you blindfolded and told to sign them?" asked Phillips.

"Yes, yes."

"Why did you sign those papers if you couldn't see what you were signing?"

"I was threatened," said Dhaif. "I had to sign them. They would beat me, torture me if I don't go ahead and sign those papers."

The American government doesn't give a crap about their people either.
Well not unless they are very wealthy.

Well America doesn't have full use of free speech.
We have areas that are censored and things you are not allowed to say.
And in a broad sense we are more lenient.

But you can find many similar cases that can be compared to those other countries.

We send people to prison for many years for petty crimes and execute innocent people.
We still have many people who are bigots and racists.

What every country has in common is that greed rules above everything else.
If you have wealth the law will treat you better.

I agree. Has there been any update on the issue?

A court in Bahrain has jailed 20 medics who treated protesters to up to 15 years each, after convicting them of incitement to overthrow the regime.

Quote:

One obsession of her questioners was to force a confession that she and other doctors had taken bags of blood from the hospital blood bank to give to protesters to pour over themselves, to lend credibility to false claims that they had suffered injuries at the hands of the police. These and other charges, Dr. Saffar said, were completely ridiculous.

Smh. doctors plan to overthrow government.

Quote:

As one of 20 Bahraini doctors and nurses given up to 15 years in prison, Dr. Roula al-Saffar recalls with outrage the tortures inflicted as police tried to force her and other medical specialists to confess to “a doctors' plot” to overthrow the Bahraini government.

“It was a nightmare,” Dr. Saffar, the 49-year-old president of the Bahraini Nursing Society, told The Independent in a phone interview from Bahrain, on the day that she had originally been told she would go to prison – a fate that now appears to have been briefly postponed. “They gave me electric shocks and beat me with a cable. They did not let me sleep for three or four days.”

She was given only a single bottle of water to drink in the course of a week-long interrogation.

A session has been set for October 23 to look into the appeals
