Our Embassy in Bahrain has raised the issue of access to medical treatment for Dr Abduljalil Alsingace with the Ombudsman for the Ministry of Interior. We encourage the Government of Bahrain to ensure that due legal process is followed in all cases and international norms of justice upheld. Our Ambassador in Bahrain has raised our broader concerns about detainee rights and prison conditions with the Government of Bahrain at the highest levels, and will continue to do so.
