Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will seek to persuade the authorities in Bahrain to give serious consideration to the recommendation made in the report The Crisis of Human Rights in Bahrain: The Rule of Law under threat, published by the Parliamentary Human Rights Group and the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales on 28 October. [HL3670]

The recommendations are consistent with our human rights concerns which we raise regularly with the Bahraini authorities.
