Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the conclusions of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on Bahrain, published on 4 March, what assessment they have made of those findings; and what representations will they make for the immediate, and unconditional, release of Dr Abduljalil al-Singace, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and Naji Fateel from prison.

The UK draws on a wide range of sources when assessing human rights issues in Bahrain and regularly raises these and individual cases with the Government of Bahrain, at senior levels, both in private and public. We encourage those with concerns to raise them with the appropriate Bahraini human rights oversight body and continue to encourage them to carry out thorough and swift investigations into any such claims.
