With Richard Howitt and Laima Andrikienė I visited Nabeel Rajab, Mr Al-Khawaja and Ibrahim Sharif in prison in Bahrain some years ago. Ibrahim Sharif, I recall, is not even a Shia. He is a Sunni who dared to expose corruption in the regime and, since then, the situation has deteriorated and gravely in the last months, as our resolution documents. The regime in Bahrain is behaving in a totally pyrominous and suicidal way in a region that cannot afford more conflict. One should say that actually our policy regarding Bahrain has been set in the last year since the uprising into 2011 in London - and for reasons that have nothing to do with human rights, nor with Europe's strategic interests. They have to do with the strategic interests of London in the trade of arms with the Saudi regime. We cannot afford this anymore. Miss Mogherini, stop appeasing the regime. Please use the next ministerial meeting of the EU GCC to actually send a very stern message to the Bahrainis and to their partners in the region.
