"Mr President, there are clear links between the sporting, business and defence interests of certain governments – such as my own – and the lack of strong action to condemn human rights abuses in Bahrain and elsewhere. So we find ourselves here as people who can speak – and we must speak – not only to expose the human rights abuses themselves, but also to expose the hypocrisy of governments, political groups, the defence industry and sporting organisations whose own interests seem to ride roughshod over those who might be imprisoned or tortured for speaking out.
