Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the statement by Vice-President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, concerning the ongoing imprisonment of Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja in Bahrain; and whether they plan to endorse calls for his unconditional release.

The UK continues to follow and discuss the case of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja with the Bahraini Government. The UK remains committed to supporting reforms in Bahrain and to encouraging the government to meet its human rights commitments.
