Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to the Government of Oman on the Shuhuh 6; and what assessments he undertakes of the human rights record of the Omani authorities.

The Foreign Secretary has not raised the case in question, however human rights forms part of our regular bilateral exchanges with the Omani Government including at the recent Joint Working Group of 25 April. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office encourages all states to uphold their international human rights obligations. Any allegations of human rights violations are concerning and must be thoroughly, promptly and transparently investigated.
