Macron urged not to let Bahrain 'buy France's silence'
Original: Macron told to not let Bahrain 'buy France's silence' as he tours Gulf
Rights campaigners are pressing Emmanuel Macron to raise human rights in Bahrain during his Gulf tour, warning the French president not to let the kingdom 'buy France's silence'. The call comes as Macron travels through the region amid ongoing concerns over repression in Bahrain. Critics want Paris to use its ties to Manama to push for reforms rather than stay quiet for economic and political gain.
Why now: Macron's Gulf tour has put the spotlight on whether France will prioritise rights or strategic and economic interests with Bahrain.
