New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof describesÌý

"I met one doctor, Sadiq al-Ekri, who was lying in a hospital bed with a broken nose and injuries to his eyes and almost his entire body. He couldn't speak to me because he was still unconscious and on oxygen after what colleagues and his family described as a savage beating by riot police who were outraged that he was treating people at the roundabout.

Dr. Ekri, a distinguished plastic surgeon, had just returned from a trip to Houston. He identified himself as a physician to the riot police, according to other doctors and family members, based partly on what Dr. Ekri, 44, told them before he lost consciousness. But then, they said, the riot police handcuffed him and began beating him with sticks and kicking him while shouting insults against Shiites. Finally, they said, the police pulled down his pants and threatened to rape him, although that idea was abandoned and an ambulance eventually was allowed to rescue him."

Talal has emailed from Bahrain:

"Bahrain is a free and progressive country. The ShiasÌýkeep complaining of unemployment but the truth is they are not educated and have no skills but all want government jobs or high level jobs. They do not take up low level jobs in the construction and similar sectors. The real aim of the Shias is to topple the modern ruling family. I shudder to think what will happen. All expats will be thrown out and Bahrain will become an outpost of Iran."

We've also been in contact with Ma'ali, a 30 year old pharmacist in Bahrain who told us:

"We are free here. All religions can practice freely. We are free to do whatever we want. It is a democratic country. I have no reason to see why the King should go."
