Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government which, if any, human rights abuses in Bahrain Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon discussed with the King of Bahrain at their meeting on 13 February.
Bahrain is a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office human rights priority country. We regularly discuss human rights issues and individual cases with senior members of the Government of Bahrain, as well as with the independent human rights oversight bodies. The visit to Bahrain from 13-14 February by the Minister of State for South and Central Asia, UN and the Commonwealth, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad was a further opportunity to do so.
