Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, at their meeting with the Director General of the Muharraq Governate Police, Brigadier General Fawaz Al Hassan, at Muharraq Security Complex in Bahrain in July 2019, they raised allegations that activists Ebtisam Al Saegh and Najah Yusuf were sexually assaulted and tortured by National Security Agency staff at that security complex whilst Brigadier General Fawaz Al Hassan was in post.

British Embassy Officials regularly meet Bahraini officials to discuss a range of issues. They did not discuss allegations relating to Ebtisam Al Saegh and Najah Yusuf at the meeting in July 2019.
