<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Since 2014, 37 men have been sentenced to death in Bahrain. At least 23 of those convictions were politically motivated, with the individuals being subjected to torture and unfair trials. As of March 2020, 12 men are on death row on political charges. A pattern of abuse, ill-treatment, torture and other human rights violations can be found in all cases. Many were sentenced in mass trials and were denied effective access to legal counsel. While in detention, they were subjected to illegal acts including sexual assault, beatings and electrocution.In Bahrain, torture is systematically used by security officers to coerce detainees into making confessions. Despite recommendations from the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry and the international community, the Government of Bahrain has made no progress toward ending its current regime of repression. Bahrain’s actions violate its human rights obligations, including the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Arab Charter on Human Rights.Does the VP/HR agree that the aforementioned treatment of Bahraini prisoners violates international law?What measures will he take to put pressure on the Bahraini Government to stop using such methods?"
