star this property answer text <p>From 1 March 2020 we have recorded on our case management system cases specifically related to COVID-19. Since then we have supported 49 individuals who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and subsequently died. Fewer than five of these individuals were in the US. We have also provided consular assistance to 92 British nationals globally who were affected by the virus, for example a welfare concern, who have subsequently died, fewer than five of these individuals were in the US. These individuals may or may not have died of Covid-19. We are only aware of those cases that are reported to us and these figures do not necessarily represent the total affected. Where British nationals die overseas we can provide information and advice on local arrangements and where possible consular teams will refer the bereaved to relevant organisations, or provide information on such organisations, that can support them at what is a very difficult time. The above figures are correct as of 21 August.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK strongly opposes the death penalty in all countries and in all circumstances, as a matter of principle. This is especially the case for juveniles and for crimes other than the most serious. This is in line with the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Arab Charter on Human Rights. We regularly raise our concerns about use of the death penalty with the Saudi Arabian authorities. We utilise a range of Ministerial and diplomatic channels, including our Ambassador and British Embassy officials in Riyadh. I raised the death penalty with Dr Awwad al Awwad, President of Saudi Arabia's Human Rights Commission during my virtual visit in July. The Minister for human rights, Lord Ahmad, raised the death penalty in a call with Dr Awwad in June and raised a range of human rights concerns during his visit last September. The Foreign Secretary raised human rights during his visit in March this year. In February, the Saudi Deputy Justice Minister, HE Abdullah Al Sulaimi, visited the UK. My predecessor raised the death penalty with him, as did our officials. The UK Ambassador to Saudi Arabia raised the death penalty with Dr Awwad al Awwad in February.</p>
