The British Government raises concerns about human rights with the Bahraini authorities in private and in public. We encourage the Government of Bahrain to deliver on its international and domestic human rights commitments. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our Embassy in Bahrain are monitoring this issue closely.

The Ministry of Interior Ombudsman has responsibility for investigating allegations of mistreatment in detention. We encourage all those with concerns about their treatment in detention to report these directly to the Ombudsman, and we urge the Ombudsman to carry out thorough investigations into any such allegations.
