"Madam President, this is not the first time I have stood in this Parliament to speak about the human rights abuses in Bahrain, and I am not happy with my own country’s record on the deals that it does with Kingdom of Bahrain. On 24 June, together with 49 fellow MEPs, I sent an open letter to Federica Mogherini on Nabeel Rajab’s re-arrest. I look forward to her reply and I thank my colleague Panzeri for his work on this. In the meantime, I am glad will be voting on this resolution and that we will come together to say clearly that Nabeel must be released immediately and unconditionally, with all other human rights defenders and political prisoners in Bahrain. The Bahraini Government must understand that allowing free, open and diverse democratic debate and a vibrant civil society will not make it weaker. Democracy and human rights will only make Bahrain stronger, with a brighter future for all Bahrainis. It is time for the Bahraini Government to hold up its own constitution and release Nabeel now."@en1
