star this property answer text <p>The Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry acknowledged reports in 2011, at the time these individuals were sentenced, which suggested that some of them had been abused in detention, denied access to legal counsel and coerced into confessing. We publically expressed concern at the decision by the Cassation Court to uphold the life sentences of these individuals, not least because of the reports of mistreatment and lack of due legal process.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <table><tbody><tr><td>Bahrain is a country case study in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's human rights report, and as such we continue to monitor the human rights situation there and issue a biannual update. Bahrain's designation as a country case study in the 2013 FCO Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy Report strikes an appropriate balance between the undoubted progress made in some areas and our continuing concerns in others. We will review all countries with human rights issues in our preparation for the 2014 Annual Report, which will be published in early 2015. Bahrain is making substantial progress in respect of political reforms and will continue to receive our support.</td></tr></tbody></table> more like this

Bahraini Ministry of Interior’s Ombudsman’s Office announced it was launching an investigation into the conditions of his detention. As a result, an investigator visited Mr Al Khawaja in Jau prison. We understand that Mr Al Khawaja has seen medical staff regularly since he began his hunger strike and that, according to the Ombudsman’s Office, the medical staff continue to provide him with health care and are monitoring his medical condition closely.</p> more like this
