"It has been said that Bahrain is a key partner for the European Union economically, and especially in the area of energy and in fighting ISIS, and that is to be welcomed. But having said that, in the area of human rights it is ranked actually 163rd out of 180 countries in the Reporters without Barriers index. That tells the story. Where we are concerned, the phrase in English ‘banging your head off a stone wall’ comes into being. We have mentioned this on numerous occasions but it has basically been ignored. So what do we do about it? I think the first author made a suggestion that we should have work group between the European Union and Bahrain, which would look at human rights and be able to discuss the cases of Nabeel Rajab, Mohammed Ramadan and Sheikh Ali Salman, and the whole question of human rights, and especially freedom of speech and expression. That may be one way to make some progress."@en1
