Bahrain 'Used Excessive Force'

Description:A report released Wednesday says government security forces in Bahrain used excessive violence and torture while trying to stop Arab Spring-inspired demonstrations.

The head of the council said the report found most, but not all, of the violence was directed towards the mostly Shi'ite demonstrators. (2:16)
