<p>I have not held any discussions with human rights groups regarding Sheikh Nasser
bin Hamad Al Khalifa. In October, the Crown Prosecution Service could not sustain
its finding that Sheikh Nasser had been immune from prosecution when he visited the
UK in 2012. Regardless of this finding on immunity, the police had in any event concluded
that there was insufficient evidence to take any further action. Sheikh Nasser has
since visited the UK. Bahrain remains a close partner of the UK, and Sheikh Nasser
continues to be welcome here.</p>
