Ahmed Shihab-Eldin

Bahrain’s top nursing official was released from prison only to be summoned to a military court one week later.

On 21 August 2011 Bahraini authorities released Rola al-Safar, the country’s top nursing official, and a teachers’ union official, Jalila al-Salman, after several jailhouse meetings with the head of an international panel investigating alleged abuses in Bahrain. They were detained for over five months during crackdowns on Shiite-led protests.

The charges against both activists are not dropped. Next Sunday 28 August 2011 Ms Rula AlSafar along with more than dozen doctors and nurses willappear at military court again as their trial resume, and despite the royal decree no 62 last June to transfer all cases to civilian courts.
