Moreover, Belgium expressed concern regarding the "recent developments, especially the ongoing execution of death penalties and citizenship revocations, precisely those leading to the exile of those whose citizenships are revokes and other measures."

It called on Bahrain to halt the arbitrary revocations of citizenships.
