<p>As we have throughout this case, we continue to raise the case with the Indian
authorities at all levels. The case was most recently raised by the Prime Minister
with Indian Prime Minister Modi at the G20 in Hamburg last week.</p><p>We understand
the impact the separation of six families is having and how the wait for a verdict
is increasing the stress and financial strain on them. We make that point when we
raise the case with the Indian authorities. However, we cannot interfere in what is
an ongoing legal process, just as we would not allow another country to interfere
in an ongoing court case in the United Kingdom.</p><p>While we await a verdict our
High Commission in India remains in close contact with the men's legal team in India
and in the UK, and our focus continues to be on the men's welfare and the support
we can provide to their families.</p>
