She says her only crime was treating the injured as they were brought to hospital during the riots that engulfed the kingdom of Bahrain.
For this offence, Dr Fatima Haji was dragged out of her house at midnight by 30 plain-clothes police officers brandishing guns.
She says she was then taken blindfolded to a secret interrogation centre, before being tortured and repeatedly sexually assaulted until she signed documents confessing her ‘crimes’.
And she was kept in solitary confinement for another 22 days, before being released on bail.
Now the 33-year-old doctor has been sentenced to five years in jail.
Though not yet imprisoned, she waits anxiously for government forces to drag her away at any moment. Full story...
