<p>Our consular staff in India visit Mr Johal regularly to monitor his welfare and
ensure he is able to access his legal representatives. They last visited Mr Johal
on 27 June. The British Government cannot interfere in the judicial processes of other
countries any more than we would accept interference in our own judicial system. However,
we can consider approaching the authorities if there are concerns that a trial does
not follow internationally recognised standards for a fair trial or is unreasonably
delayed compared to local cases. In our representations to the Government of India
on Mr Johal's behalf, we have raised his right to a fair trial.</p>
