- Norge har gjentatte ganger uttrykt bekymring for situasjonen til Rajab og oppfordret bahrainske myndigheter til å etterleve sine internasjonale MR-forpliktelser.
Mr Rajab was also sentenced in 2015 for public statements he had made, but he was later pardoned before being arrested again in June 2016.
Rajab ble også dømt for ytringer i det offentlige rom i 2015, men ble senere benådet før han igjen ble arrestert i juni 2016.

“I am concerned about reports that the two top church leaders in Aleppo, Bishops Ibrahim and Yazaji, have been kidnapped.
- Jeg er bekymret over meldingene om at de to fremste kirkelederne i Aleppo i Syria, biskopene Ibrahim og Yazaji, er kidnappet.
French version of the press release La Norvège exige la libération des deux évêques syriens enlevés
Fransk versjon av pressemeldingen La Norvège exige la libération des deux évêques syriens enlevés
The Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim, and the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Aleppo, Boulos Yazaji, have been kidnapped by an unknown armed group in Syria.
Den syrisk-ortodokse erkebiskopen av Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim, og den gresk-ortodokse biskopen av Aleppo, Boulos Yazaji, er kidnappet av en ukjent væpnet gruppe i Syria.
They were abducted on their way from the Turkish border to the city of Aleppo.
De ble tatt til fange mens de kjørte fra den tyrkiske grensen til byen Aleppo i Syria.
“The two bishops are key leaders for Christians in Syria.
- De to er sentrale ledere for de kristne i Syria.
The fact that church leaders are now being kidnapped shows just how relentless the civil war in Syria has become,” said Mr Eide.
Når kirkeledere kidnappes viser det hvor uforsonlig borgerkrigen i Syria er blitt, sier Eide.
There are a large number of armed groups in Syria that support different parties to the conflict.
Det er et stort antall væpnede aktører i Syria, som tilhører flere parter i konflikten.
The Free Syrian Army is a network that includes most of the military opposition forces and cooperates with the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.
Free Syrian Army er et samlende nettverk for de fleste militære aktører i opposisjonen og samarbeider med den syriske Nasjonalkoalisjonen.
“Christians in Syria are in a vulnerable position, and it is important for Syria’s future to avoid divisions between religious groups.
- De kristne er i en utsatt situasjon, og samhold mellom religiøse grupper er avgjørende for Syrias framtid.
Norway welcomes release of political prisoners in Iran
Gledelig at Iran løslater politiske fanger
Ms Soutodeh and several others of those released had been imprisoned in connection with the protests held following the re-election of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
Sotoudeh og flere av de andre løslatte ble fengslet i samband med protestene knyttet til gjenvalget av tidligere president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad i 2009.
“I have personally raised Ms Sotoudeh’s case with the Iranian authorities.
- Jeg har personlig tatt opp Nasrin Sotoudehs sak med iranske myndigheter.
Courageous activists like Ms Sotoudeh play a crucial role in defending human rights.
Modige aktivister som Sotoudeh spiller en avgjørende rolle i forsvaret av menneskerettighetene.
It is vital that she is able to resume her legal practice and that the travel ban imposed on her is lifted,” Mr Eide said.
Det er viktig at hun får gjenoppta sin advokatpraksis og at reiseforbudet mot henne oppheves, sier Eide.
Norway has repeatedly raised the situation of political prisoners and human rights defenders in Iran with the Iranian authorities.

‘The authorities in Ecuador need support in carrying out the relief efforts that are now underway.
- Myndighetene i Ecuador trenger støtte i det hjelpearbeidet som nå pågår.
People are in need of shelter, medical assistance, clean water and food.
Folk må få tak over hodet, helsehjelp, rent vann og mat.
We are giving priority to supporting the relief efforts of aid organisations we already cooperate with,’ Mr Brende said.
Vi prioriterer å støtte nødhjelpsinnsats gjennom bistandsorganisasjoner vi allerede samarbeider med, sier utenriksministeren.

‘The earthquake has severely affected over a million people in Ecuador.
- Jordskjelvet har fått dramatiske konsekvenser for over én million mennesker i Ecuador.
‘Three years after the last famine in Somalia, another hunger crisis is looming.
- Tre år etter den siste hungersnøden i Somalia truer nok en sultkrise.
According to the UN, one million people are in urgent need of emergency response.
Ifølge FN har én million mennesker behov for akutt nødhjelp.
The Norwegian Government is therefore increasing its humanitarian support for Somalia by NOK 35 million,’ said Foreign Minister Børge Brende.
Regjeringen styrker derfor den humanitære innsatsen i Somalia med 35 millioner kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
On 24 September, Mr Brende attended a high-level meeting on Somalia in New York, which was organised by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Brende deltok i dag på et møte om Somalia i New York, som var organisert av FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
According to the UN, the food security situation in Somalia is critical.
Ifølge FN er matsikkerheten i Somalia betydelig forverret.
So far, the UN’s humanitarian appeal for Somalia has been met with only 34 per cent of the requested USD 933 million.
Så langt har den internasjonale responsen på FNs humanitære appell for Somalia vært svak.
Many families have fled their homes because of the conflict.
Mange familier er på flukt fra sine hjem på grunn av konflikt.
Children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, especially those who are among the 1.1 million internally displaced.
Barn og gravide kvinner er spesielt utsatt, ikke minst blant de omkring 1,1 million menneskene på flukt i Somalia.
More than 200 000 children under five are suffering from serious undernourishment, and it is estimated that 43 000 are in urgent need of specialist help in order to survive.
Mer enn 200 000 barn under fem år lider av alvorlig underernæring, og det anslås at 43 000 barn trenger akutt spesialisthjelp for å overleve.
Urgent need for emergency relief in Somalia
Akutt behov for nødhjelp i Somalia
The conflict in Libya has escalated over the past few days, with large-scale acts of war now taking place.
Konflikten i Libya har de siste dagene tilspisset seg med krigshandlinger i stor skala.
The fighting is causing great suffering to the civilian population.
Kampene medfører store lidelser for sivilbefolkningen.
Next week, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights will start investigating the atrocities committed against the civilian population in Libya.
FNs høykommissær for menneskerettigheter vil neste uke starte arbeidet med å granske overgrepene mot sivilbefolkningen i Libya.
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has also announced that the Court will open an investigation.
Sjefsanklageren til Den internasjonale straffedomstolen i Haag (ICC) har også varslet at domstolen vil iverksette undersøkelser.
“I am deeply concerned that the Libyan authorities are not giving the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross the access they need to assess the situation in Western Libya and to provide emergency relief.
- Jeg er dypt bekymret over at libyske myndigheter ikke gir FN og det internasjonale Røde Kors adgang for å vurdere situasjonen i Vest-Libya og gi livreddende nødhjelp.
This is a clear violation of international humanitarian law,” said the Foreign Minister.
Dette er et klart brudd på internasjonal humanitær rett, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The parties to the conflict have an obligation to respect international humanitarian law.
Partene i konflikten har plikt til å respektere internasjonal humanitær rett.
This means that they must distinguish between military targets and civilians, and effectively protect the civilian population.
Dette betyr blant annet at de må skille mellom militære mål og sivile og effektivt beskytte sivilbefolkningen.
The humanitarian situation in Libya’s neighbouring countries is still critical as a result of the conflict.
Den humanitære situasjonen i Libyas naboland som følge av konflikten er også fortsatt kritisk.
The UN is doing an excellent job providing humanitarian aid in areas on the borders with Tunisia and Egypt.
FN gjør en meget god humanitær innsats i grenseområdene til Tunisia og Egypt.
So far, more than 100 000 migrant workers have been evacuated to their countries of origin.
Mer enn 100.000 gjestearbeidere er hittil evakuert til sine hjemland.
“The international community must stand united in its condemnation of the Libyan authorities’ brutality and lack of respect for international law.
- Det internasjonale samfunn må stå samlet i sin motstand mot libyske myndigheters brutalitet og manglende respekt for folkeretten.
It is particularly important that regional actors such as the African Union and the Arab League launch initiatives to help the civilian population in Libya and contribute to a long-term solution to the conflict,” said Mr Støre.
Spesielt viktig er det at aktører i regionen som Den afrikanske union og Den arabiske liga tar initiativer som kan hjelpe sivilbefolkningen i Libya og bidra til en varig løsning på konflikten, sier Støre.
The conflict that broke out in December has made a difficult situation even worse.
Konflikten som brøt ut i desember har gjort en allerede vanskelig situasjon verre.
We are therefore doubling Norway’s funding for humanitarian assistance, from NOK 50 million to NOK 100 million,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende, who is in the South Sudanese capital Juba today.
Derfor dobler vi nå Norges støtte til humanitær innsats fra 50 til 100 millioner kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende, som i dag er i hovedstaden Juba.
“Over 4.4 million people in South Sudan are in need of emergency assistance.

After armed conflict broke out between factions loyal to President Salva Kiir and former Vice President Riek Machar in mid-December, over 575 000 people have been forced to leave their homes and over 112 000 people have fled to neighbouring countries.
Siden væpnet konflikt mellom president Salva Kiir og tidligere visepresident Riek Machar brøt ut i Sør-Sudan før jul, har over 575 000 mennesker måtte flykte fra sine hjem og over 112 000 personer har flyktet til nabolandene.
“The agreement on cessation of hostilities that was signed last week must be respected, so that emergency assistance can reach those in need.
- Avtalen om våpenstillstand som ble inngått forrige uke må respekteres og føre til at nødhjelpen kan komme frem.
This is demanding work due to the security challenges in the areas concerned and the lack of road access to key locations,” said Mr Brende.
Dette er krevende arbeid, i store områder med sikkerhetsutfordringer og vanskelig fremkommelighet, sier utenriksministeren.
The additional funding will be allocated to Norwegian aid organisations, the Red Cross and UN humanitarian organisations that have the networks and capacity needed to reach the hard-hit South Sudanese population.
De nye midlene skal tildeles norske hjelpeorganisasjoner, Røde Kors og FNs humanitære organisasjoner som har etablerte nettverk og kapasitet til å nå ut til den hardt rammede befolkningen.
Norway has so far provided an additional NOK 8 million in assistance through the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
Så langt har Norge i tillegg bidratt med 8 millioner kroner gjennom FNs nødhjelpsfond (CERF).
Norway is following developments closely and will consider making further humanitarian contributions.
Norge følger situasjonen tett og vil vurdere ytterligere humanitære bidrag.

Solheim wants to learn more about religion and development
Solheim vil lære mer om religion og utvikling
Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim is launching the project “Religion and Development”.
Miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim lanserer prosjektet «Religion og utvikling».
The aim of the new project is to learn more about the role of religion in Norway’s cooperation with poor countries.
Målet med det nye prosjektet er å lære mer om religionens plass og rolle i Norges samarbeid med fattige land.
“There are many reasons why religion is important for development.
- Det er mange gode grunner til at religion er viktig for utvikling.
Religious communities and their leaders play an important role in almost all the countries Norway cooperates with,” said Mr Solheim.
Trossamfunn og deres ledere spiller en viktig rolle i nesten alle land Norge samarbeider med, sier Solheim.
The project was launched today at a seminar on religion and development arranged by the umbrella organisation Norwegian Missions in Development.
Prosjektet ble lansert på Bistandsnemndas seminar om religion og utvikling i dag.
This is important in order to understand the societies we are working in,” said Mr Solheim.
Det er viktig for å forstå samfunnet vi jobber i, sier Solheim.
A broad-based group will be responsible for quality assuring the process.
En bredt sammensatt gruppe skal veilede og kvalitetssikre arbeidet.
Norway supports several Christian organisations that are working in poor countries, but not missionary organisations.
Norge støtter flere kristne organisasjoner som jobber i fattige land, men ikke misjon.
Freedom of religion is an important human right.
Religionsfrihet er en viktig menneskerett.
In the revised budget, the Government has proposed an additional allocation of NOK 10 million to efforts to protect religious minorities and safeguard their rights,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
I forslaget til revidert nasjonalbudsjett foreslår regjeringen å bevilge ytterligere ti millioner kroner til dette arbeidet, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
It is vital to help develop early warning systems that can prevent organised attacks, and to support measures that can reduce human suffering,' Mr Brende said.
Det er viktig å bidra til systemer for tidlig varsling av organiserte overgrep og tiltak som kan redusere menneskelige lidelser, sier Brende.
This is one of the conclusions of the recent white paper on development policy and the SDGs,' said Mr Brende.
Dette er en av konklusjonene i den nylig fremlagte stortingsmeldingen om utviklingspolitikken, sier Brende.
