DETENTION OF SHEIKH ALI SALMAN IN BAHRAIN

Early day motion 660, tabled 5 January 2015 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 32 members.

That this House is appalled at recent human rights abuses in Bahrain, most notably the multiple charges that have recently been brought against the Bahrain Opposition Al Wefaq leader Sheikh Ali Salman; believes that unjust arrests and detentions are part of an ongoing campaign by the Bahrain authorities to continue to undermine human rights; and calls on the Government to take action to encourage the release of unjustly-held Bahraini citizens, including Sheikh Ali Salman.
