<p>We have raised with the Government of Bahrain the decision to withdraw citizenship
from 31 individuals in 2012. We encourage the authorities to conduct full and transparent
investigations into any of those accused of crimes. Any charges against these individuals
should be based on strong, credible evidence that will stand up to scrutiny. We commend
the steps taken by the Bahraini government to implement the recommendations set out
in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. As outlined in our recent human
rights case study on Bahrain, progress has been made in a number of areas but there
is still more to be done.</p>
