Twenty doctors and nurses have been jailed for up to fifteen years each after being convicted of incitement to overthrow the Bahrain government. They say they were treating people injured when a protest movement calling for more rights for the country's Shia majority in the Sunni-ruled kingdom was crushed. The government say the group were involved with "hardline protestors" who sought regime change. Victoria spoke to Dr Nada Dhaif who's been sentenced to 15 years and Dr Fatima Haji who's been sentenced to five years, as well as a spokesman for international media from Bahrain's Ministry of Information, Sheik Abdul Aziz.
