Dear all,
Human Rights Watch and amnesty international do report about hundreds of injured.
If you go to www.amnesty.org and search for "Bahrain" at the "library", there are several reports as well as addresses of governmental institutions. Under "Saudi Arabia", also addresses of Saudi Arabian governmental institutions are available, and in both cases instructions for possible protest letters and action.
Best wishes
Eva

Violent crackdown in Bahrain condemned
15 March 2011
Amnesty International has called on the governments of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to immediately restrain their security forces after an anti-government protester was shot dead in Bahrain today and many others sustained gunshot injuries.
Eye-witnesses told Amnesty International that Bahraini riot police and plain-clothed security forces used shotguns, rubber bullets and teargas against demonstrators in Sitra and Ma’ameer. Several ambulance drivers were attacked by riot police with batons as they tried to reach the wounded.

Tear gas and rubber bullets as Bahrain security forces crackdown on protests
14 March 2011
Amnesty International has called on the Bahrain authorities to hold security forces accountable over the use of excessive force after police fired rubber bullets at close range at demonstrators in the capital Manama.
Hundreds of protesters are reported to have been injured over the weekend. On Friday, anti-government protesters sought to march to the royal palace in Riffa but were blocked by security forces and armed government supporters.
