Bahrain: Prisoners

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when officials of his Department last raised the cases of Mohamed Ramadan and Husain Moosa with the Government of Bahrain.

Answer

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our Embassy in Bahrain continue to closely monitor the cases of Mohammed Ramadan and Husain Moosa and we have raised concerns about these cases both in public and in private at senior levels. We are aware that the Bahraini Special Investigations Unit is continuing with investigations into complaints of torture in these cases. We encourage a swift, transparent conclusion to the investigations.
