'A Bahraini princess has been accused of being involved in the torture of pro-democracy protesters detained in the country’s recent crackdown on peaceful assembly.A number of the medical professionals sentenced last week to lengthy jail time for treating injured protesters as patients have alleged that the princess, Sheikha Noora bint Ibrahim al-Khalifa, beat them with sticks and a rubber hose, and gave electric shocks to the face with a cable.The jailing of nurses and doctors, who claim they were tortured and forced to sign false confessions, has garnered international condemnation of the Bahraini monarchy, although not of its supporter and enabler, the United States.'
