Nseej | #AP: #Bahrain medics seek #UN probe of prison sentences.
#MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Bahraini doctors and nurses convicted of links to anti-government protests and sentenced to long prison terms appealed to the U.N. chief Saturday to investigate their claims of abuse and judicial violations in the trial.

The medical professionals — whose sentences range from five to 15 years — are appealing the security court's ruling and speaking out against the wider crackdown by the Gulf kingdom's Sunni rulers against protests for greater rights by the Shiite majority.
