The briefing was
facilitated by the Dublin based European Centre for Democracy and Human Rights
(ECDHR).
Speaking after meeting with Dr Saeed
Al-Shehabi and Ali Mushaima, son of the political prisoner of conscience Hasan
Mushaima, Francie Molloy MP said:
“It is very disheartening to hear
about the continued denial of basic democratic and civil rights in
Bahrain.
“It is particularly troubling to hear
about the treatment of political prisoners, with reports of arbitrary denial of
medical assistance and restrictions on phone calls to loved ones.
“The British Government continues to
turn a blind eye to the human rights abuses in Bahrain.
