Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
Why did the Foreign Secretary use the term ““allegations”” of torture about what The Times reported as"““47 health professionals… on trial, accused of seeking to overthrow the Gulf state's monarchy””" in a closed court. It continued:"““The doctors and nurses did this, in reality, only by treating the sick. Only the most paranoid of regimes could see treason in the Hippocratic oath.””" Instead of rolling out the red carpet at Downing street, is it not time that the Foreign Secretary got a little bit more robust with this torturing regime?
