Bahrain : letter from Bahrain thanking doctors who signed the open letter to the King of Bahrain

Dear Stephanie, Michelle and all the noble Irish doctors and human rights defenders,

I want to thank you for all the support and good work you have done to defend us, the Bahraini doctors. Your emails my sister fwds me brings tears to my eyes every time I read them. You cannot imagine how grateful I am for all you have done and continue to do to ensure our release and to rescue us from these unjust trials.

I hold Ireland close to my heart. It was the first European country I visited in 1993 to sit for my DCH in RCSI. My last visit was last July when I was so impressed with the developments. I also, work part-time with wonderful people in RCSI-MUB Bahrain as a facilitator for the Masters Degree in Healthcare Management.

Thank you all again and I am forever indebted you.

Yours sincerely,
