Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, pursuant to the Answer of 14 May 2024 to Question 24574 on Bahrain: Political Prisoners, if he will list the individual human rights cases discussed with Bahrain Foreign Minister Al Zayani on 22 April 2024.

The UK's close and long-standing relationship with Bahrain continues to allow for a genuine and mutually beneficial dialogue, including on individual cases we discuss where allegations relating to human rights are made. Whilst we sometimes comment publicly, we most often engage constructively in private and do not as a matter of course release the details of Ministerial discussions with international counterparts.
