Question 24102 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Jean François Mbaye draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the human rights violations of which certain international observers accuse the Kingdom of Bahrain. According to their allegations, the Bahraini population has been the subject of unprecedented repression since the beginning of the 2010s, which has increased significantly since 2014, a period of legislative elections that saw political opposition local restricted in its rights. Currently, many political opponents and activists committed to respecting freedom of expression and human rights are reportedly arbitrarily imprisoned in inhumane conditions and regularly subjected to torture. Thus, and to name only a few names, MM. Sheikh Ali Salman, Hassan Mushaima, Abdulwahab Hussain, Shiite political opponents, as well as Mr. Nabeel Rajab and Doctor Abduljalil Al-Singace, human rights activists, do not currently benefit from detention conditions capable of meeting their most imperative rights and needs. He would like to know the way in which the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs is following this issue, and the diplomatic levers available to France in order to undertake initiatives likely to enable compliance with rights of Bahraini political oppositions or, at the very least, to improve the conditions of detention of opponents.
