Human rights organizations voiced concern over the torture which pro-democracy protesters in Bahrain have being exposed to.

Human Rights Watch was urging Bahrain on Tuesday to stop special military court proceedings against those arrested during the country's anti-government's protests.

"Bahraini authorities should immediately halt all proceedings before the special military court and free everyone held solely for exercising their rights to free speech and peaceful assembly," the group said in a statement.

Media outlets reported that a protester has died a day after he was released from jail. It also reported that military court tried dozens of doctors and nurses for treating wounded demonstrators.

Jaber Ibrahim al-Alawiat, who was imprisoned for taking part in protests, was “severely tortured” by Bahraini regime forces while in detention.

On Monday, a Bahraini military court tried 48 doctors, nurses and paramedics that were accused of supporting anti-government protesters. They face a whole host of charges, including an attempt to overthrow the monarchy, possessing weapons and stealing medicine.

For its part, the international aid agency of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has also raised alarm about the Bahraini regime's arbitrary and sweeping court action against the country's medical personnel.
Anti-government protests were brutally suppressed by the Saudi-backed security forces in Bahrain.

According to rights groups, including Amnesty International, at least 500 people have been detained in crackdowns since the country-wide protests began in mid-February.
At least other 2,000 have been sacked, and some 27 mosques of the Shia, who make up 70 per cent of the population, have been demolished.
