Syria (like Bahrain) 'targets doctors who treat protesters'

Syrian security forces have intensified their crackdown on doctors who treat wounded demonstrators, an activist network spurring protests against the regime of President Bashar-al Assad said on Monday.

"Security forces recently intensified their campaign against doctors, hospitals and private clinics suspected of treating people wounded in pro-freedom rallies," without notifying security services, the Local Coordination Committees said in a statement.

The group said attending physicians are required to immediately notify security services of the arrival of a wounded person, regardless of the severity of his injuries, which invariably leads to the patient's arrest. Full story...
