Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether his Department has discussed with the authorities of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the trial of relatives of UK-based human rights activist Sayed Ahmed al-Wadaei.

​We have raised these cases at a senior level. I understand that these individuals were convicted and sentenced to three years in prison on charges of planting a hoax bomb in early 2017.
