Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what (a) reports he has received and (b) representations he has made to his Bahrainian counterpart on the reported denial of adequate medical treatment to Husain Abdulwahab at Jau prison in Bahrain.

Officials at the British Embassy in Bahrain continue to monitor the case of Husain Abdulwahab and where we have concerns they continue to be raised with the appropriate authorities. We encourage any claims of mistreatment whilst in detention to be reported to the Ministry of Interior’s Ombudsman, whose duty it is to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation.
