Bahrain Mirror: International Business Times said that FIFA is facing calls to publish the "integrity checks" it carried out on its presidential candidates after the front runner was once again accused of doing nothing to protect players and coaches involved in 2011's anti-government protests in Bahrain.
Conservative MP Damian Collins said details of Salman bin Ebrahim's integrity check should be made public.
"Fifa have been asked about the checks they have carried out and have refused to comment, other than to say he has passed," he told The Sunday Times, adding that Salman "did nothing" to prevent the government's actions against the players and did not speak out.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron also told the IB Times UK that "public confidence in Fifa has shattered."
Nicholas McGeehan, researcher at Human Rights Watch, has also said that Salman "should have known what was going on in the country", indicating that people were shot dead in the street- these were not allegations - they are established fact, he continued wondering "So why is he setting up a committee which would put his own footballers at risk of that sort of treatment?"
