	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>Bahrain is a Human Rights Priority Country and as such is included our 2017 Annual Human Rights Report. The UK enjoys a close relationship with the Government of Bahrain which allows us to speak honestly about a range of issues, including human rights. Where we have concerns on specific issues, including prison conditions, we raise these with the Bahraini authorities. We encourage those with concerns about treatment in detention to report these to the relevant human rights oversight bodies. We encourage the Government of Bahrain to deliver on its international and domestic human rights commitments.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 06/09/2018 15:52:16 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
