Bahrain is a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office human rights priority country. Our annual Human Rights Report, published last in July 2021, contains our most recent assessment. We regularly discuss human rights issues and individual cases with senior members of the Government of Bahrain, as well as with the independent human rights oversight bodies. The visit to Bahrain from 13-14 February by the Minister of State for South and Central Asia, UN and the Commonwealth, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad was a further opportunity to do so.
