In its intervention on Monday (May 1, 2017) during the 27th UPR session in Geneva on Bahrain's human rights record, Czech Republic called on the Bahraini government to end citizenships revocations, targeting of dissidents, to guarantee cooperation with human rights mechanisms, and to not exploit the terrorism law in pursuing opponents.
