Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Pakistani counterpart regarding the arrest of Azam Swati.

The UK Government continues to regularly engage the Government of Pakistan at a senior level on the need to respect human rights and uphold the rule of law. Where there are allegations of human rights violations, we expect these to be fully investigated in line with due process. We do not comment on Pakistan's internal domestic affairs.
