We continue to closely monitor the case of Nabeel Rajab and have frequently raised it with the Bahraini Government at the highest levels. Where we have concerns we will continue to raise them at an appropriate level with the Government of Bahrain.
The UK Government continues to emphasise the need to respect the rights of all citizens, including freedom of expression.
