Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, concerning the case of Dominic Miles, a British national imprisoned in Bahrain since 2022, in light of an alleged failure of due process and the Government's statement in August 2023 that the ombudsman suspects torture; what assessment they have made of his case; what representations have been made on his behalf and to which Bahraini authorities over the past two years; and when the last such representation was made.

Supporting the welfare of British nationals detained overseas is a priority for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and we take all allegations of torture and mistreatment extremely seriously. When such concerns are raised, with the individual's consent, we will raise these with the relevant authorities. We are unable to provide comment on the detail of individual consular cases in line with relevant UK data protection legislation, which can be found on the attached PDF.
