Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 29 April 2019.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Bahrain to secure medical treatment for Ali Alhajee, who resumed his hunger strike in Jau Prison on 5 April in protest at the continued failure of prison authorities to provide adequate medical treatment and meals in accordance with his dietary requirements.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our Embassy in Bahrain closely follow events in Manama. We are aware of the case of Mr Ali Al Hajee and allegations of mistreatment in detention, and have raised his case at a senior level with the Government of Bahrain.
We encourage those with concerns about treatment in detention to raise them with the appropriate Bahraini human rights oversight body and continue to encourage the oversight bodies in Bahrain to carry out thorough and swift investigations into any such claims.
