Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made or steps he has taken on the imprisonment of Mohammad Ramadan in Bahrain.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our Embassy in Bahrain continue to closely monitor the case of Mohammed Ramadan and we have raised concerns about this case both in public and in private at senior levels. We are aware that the Special Investigations Unit is continuing with investigations into complaints of torture in this case. We encourage a swift, transparent conclusion to the investigation.
