Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent meetings he has held with his counterpart in Ethiopia to discuss the continued detention of Andargachew Tsege.
The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) discussed Mr Tsege’s detention with his Ethiopian counterpart on 23 September and again on 19 November this year. My team and Foreign and Commonwealth officials in London and Ethiopia also frequently raise Mr Tsege’s case in their interactions with the Ethiopian authorities.
