UN CRITICISES BAHRAIN'S DEATH SENTENCES, TRIAL OF DOCTORS

the UN high commissioner for human rights decried Bahrain's imposition of death sentences on anti- government protesters. 'The trial of civilians before military courts is always a cause of concern,' Pillay said from her office in Geneva. 'The application of the death sentence without due process and after a trial held in secrecy is illegal and absolutely unacceptable.'
