86. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his attention has been drawn to the escalating campaign of reprisals against human rights defenders and their families in Bahrain; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that civil and political society leaders have been subject to a pattern of intimidation, including the vandalising and destruction of their property with apparent impunity; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the families of exiled human rights defenders have been recently summoned to appear at police stations at which they were instructed to call their family member and ask for them to give up their activism abroad or their families would all be arrested; and his views on whether the latest acts of reprisal against activists inside and outside Bahrain and the continued use of both judicial and extrajudicial means to crack down on any and all dissent in the country are completely inexcusable.
