Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to authorities in Bahrain regarding allegations of mistreatment, suspension of telephone calls, and solitary confinement of (1) Mohamed Ramadan, (2) Zuhair Ebrahim Jasim Abdullah, (3) Mohamed Radhi Hasan, and (4) Husain Ebrahim Marzooq, who are on death row in Jau Prison.

We continue to discuss the use of the death penalty with the Bahrain authorities and have not made representations recently on the cases mentioned. We are aware that investigations are ongoing into allegations of mistreatment.
