Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the hunger strike by former political opposition leader, Abdulhadi AlKhawaja, in Bahrain, and reports that Mr AlKhawaja has been denied family visitation rights and phone calls, if she will make representations to her Bahraini counterpart for Mr AlKhawaja’s phone calls and family visitation to be reinstated.
The UK has a continuing dialogue with the Government of Bahrain in which we raise individual cases, when and where we have concerns.
