DUP MP Gregory Campbell has asked the Government if it will make representations to the Bahrain authorities on recent reports of alleged torture suffered by patients in hospital who may have been involved in opposition rallies.
Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Alistair Burt replied: “We continue to raise the UK’s strong concerns over many credible reports of human rights abuses and allegations of torture in Bahrain. We call on the Government to investigate them fully and transparently and for the Bahraini authorities to act in accordance with the law.”
