<p>Due to public health precautions in place for COVID-19, British Embassy officials
were unable to attend the Court of Cassation. We are deeply concerned that the death
penalty verdicts imposed on Mohammed Ramadhan and Husain Moosa by Bahrain's Court
of Cassation have been upheld. Lord Ahmad, who is the Minister of State responsible
for human rights, reinforced this position in his tweet of 14 July. We have raised
both cases at senior levels with the Government of Bahrain. The Bahraini Government
is fully aware that the UK opposes the death penalty, in all circumstances, as a matter
of principle.</p>
