The British Government takes note of a number of sources of information on these issues; including publications by the UN and other Non Governmental Organisations. We continue to encourage those with concerns about treatment in detention to raise them with the appropriate Bahraini human rights oversight body. We encourage the oversight bodies in Bahrain to carry out thorough and swift investigations into any such claims.
