<p>The Rt Hon. member will have seen my statement of 4 November where I expressed
my concerns on the further sentencing of Sheikh Ali Salman. I understand that he now
has a further opportunity of appeal.</p><p>The UK has raised this case at senior levels
with the Government of Bahrain. Most recently, I discussed my concerns on the sentencing
with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the Court of St James’ on 5 November.
We will continue to closely monitor the case as it makes its way through the judicial
system. Should we have concerns we will raise them at an appropriately senior level
with the Government of Bahrain.</p><p>It would be inappropriate for me to comment
on statements by the State of Qatar concerning the Kingdom of Bahrain.</p>
