Bahrain's King Hamad promises human rights reforms
The king of Bahrain has promised reforms to prevent abuses by security forces, after an independent report about a crackdown on protests said authorities had used "excessive force".
The much-awaited report into the events in February and March said a number of detained protesters had been tortured.
More than 40 people died in the unrest, which some officials blamed on Iran.
