We have raised both cases at senior levels with the Government of Bahrain. Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister responsible for Human Rights, raised the cases with the Bahraini Ambassador to the UK on 14 July. During the recent visit to the UK of Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, I reiterated the UK's opposition to the use of the death penalty, in all circumstances.
