Al-Jazeera Video: Relatives fearful about Bahrain trials



"In Bahrain, human rights workers say at least 50 medical staff are still missing after a crackdown on hospital care for injured anti-government demonstrators.

There are fears that the detained staff could face the death penalty for treating demonstrators. Among them is Dr. Al Akri, a prominent physician arrested on March 17 at Salmaniya Hospital during a military raid.

His wife, who was also arrested and beaten under custody last Tuesday, told Al Jazeera that he has had no access to lawyers."
