Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether his Department has received reports on the condition of Mr Hamed bin Haydara, a Baha’i prisoner in Sana’a, Yemen; and if he will make a statement.

We were deeply concerned to receive reports of a decline in Mr bin Haydara's health. We have called on several occasions for his release, and renewed these following the news that he was sentenced to death in January. We have asked partners with access to the Houthis to raise this case and to insist that Mr bin Haydara receives necessary medical attention. We continue to monitor the situation.
