Bahrain Mirror:  The European Union called on Bahrain to "expand measures for the release of political detainees to include imprisoned activists who suffer medical conditions."

In its 2022 Human Rights Report, the EU noted that "the EU raised cases of detained dissidents serving lengthy prison terms since their arrest in 2011 in the context of the EU-Bahrain Human Rights Dialogue held in October 2022."

It recalled that "Bahrain is a party in the core United Nations human rights treaties but has not ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on the abolition of the death penalty, nor the Convention on Enforced Disappearance."
