The FCDO published our assessment of the human rights situation in Bahrain in the annual FCDO Human Rights and Democracy Report, in December 2022. Bahrain remains a FCDO Human Rights Priority Country and we continue to engage regularly, privately and effectively across a range of areas with the Government of Bahrain.
