The Lower Criminal Court will convene on Monday to hear the testimonies of witnesses in connection with the death of premature twins Fatima and Zahra.
As reported in the GDN last month, three doctors and a nurse at Bahrain’s main public hospital appeared in court for the first time to deny manslaughter and medical negligence.
Prosecutors had submitted the final report from the National Health Regulatory Authority´s (NHRA) technical committee as evidence.
The babies were pronounced dead shortly after their birth only to start crying as their father, Qassim Al Biladi, prepared to bury them on the same day. The girls later died after they were taken back to Salmaniya Medical Complex.
The sisters were laid to rest in Bilad Al Qadeem cemetery on October 25 – nine days after their premature birth at the hospital on October 16.
