<p>The FCDO follows matters that relate to human rights within Bahrain closely, including
some individual cases. The UK Government's long-standing policy is to oppose the death
penalty in all circumstances, in all countries, as a matter of principle, and Bahrain
is fully aware of that. During Bahrain's Universal Periodic Review in November 2022,
the UK recommended an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty. We also
encourage those with specific concerns to raise them directly with the appropriate
Bahraini oversight body.</p>
