HMG provided consular assistance in 3745 new cases of arrest or detention abroad in 2022. We tailor the consular assistance we provide to British nationals who have been arrested or detained abroad depending on their specific circumstances. This includes raising individual cases with the relevant overseas authorities, including at Ministerial level, where appropriate.
