Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the compliance with international law of the trial of (a) Hajer Mansoor, (b) Sayed Nizar Alwadaei and (c) Mahmood Marzoo.

Our Embassy in Bahrain and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office continue to monitor the cases of Hajar Mansoor Hassan, Sayed Nazar al-Wadaei and Mahmood Marzooq Mansoor. We have raised these cases at a senior level with the Government of Bahrain.

We encourage those with concerns about treatment in detention or the legal process to report these to the appropriate oversight bodies. We encourage those oversight bodies to carry out swift and thorough investigations.
