Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will meet with the pro-democracy leaders Saeed Alshehabi, Ali Mushaima and Moosa Mohammad to discuss ongoing human rights violations in Bahrain.
There are no plans to meet with Dr. Saeed Alshehabi, Mr Ali Mushaima or Mr Moosa Mohammad.
Defending human rights and promoting democracy around the world is a core priority for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and its diplomatic network. While we recognise that challenges remain, we believe that consistent, positive steps are being made on security and justice reform in Bahrain. The FCDO considers a range of information and sources when making our assessment of the HRs picture in Bahrain, including meeting individuals or groups when we deem appropriate.
