To ask His Majesty's Government what recent discussions they have had with the government of Bahrain concerning its use of the death penalty.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Bahrain is well aware of the UK's long-standing policy to oppose the death penalty in all circumstances, in all countries, as a matter of principle. During Bahrain's Universal Periodic Review in November 2022, the UK recommended an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty and has continued to discuss this with the Government of Bahrain, most recently on 20 December 2023.
