<p>We welcome the positive steps taken by the Government of Bahrain leading to progress
in a number of human rights areas, including reforms to the prison system. This includes
the development of Alternative Sentencing legislation (which has benefitted over 5,680
individuals to date), the introduction of an open prison system, the implementation
of a new child justice system, and the establishment of specialist human rights oversight
bodies. The UK remains committed to supporting reforms in Bahrain and to encouraging
the government to meet its human rights commitments.</p>
