一个独立调查委员会调查巴林2月份民主抗议中的暴力镇压时间，委员会主席已就诸多拘留者所受虐待交出一份详细报告。Rupert Wingfield-Hayes报道。

The chief of the Independent Commission of Inquiry found the Bahraini authorities guilty of illegal arrests, forced confessions, unfair trials and the systematic use of torture. In his speech in reply, King Hamad welcomed the report. He talked of this being a day that will be remembered in the history of Bahrain. But a short distance away in a Shia neighbourhood of Bahrain, they were burning tyres and calling for the king to step down. Speaking with Professor Bassiouni after the speeches, he admitted it will very much depend now on what Bahrain's king does with the report: will he push for reform and remove hard-liners from his government, or will he use the report as window dressing to appease opinion in America and Europe.

独立调查委员会主席发现，巴林当局犯有非法居留、刑讯逼供、不公审判及虐待等罪行。国王Hamad做了回复演讲，他对报告表示欢迎，他说巴林历史将会记住这一天。在巴林附近的什叶派居住区，人们焚烧轮胎，要求国王下台。国王在演讲后与贝卢斯科尼进行了交谈，他承认将依据报告做出决定：推动改革，摈弃政府的强硬政策，否则他将用这份报告来平息美国和欧洲的种种看法。
