answer text <p>​We are concerned about reports of torture and mistreatment in detention in Egypt, and continue to raise these issues with the Egyptian authorities. We have raised our concerns in public, through the UN Human Rights Council and through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Human Rights Priority Country reports. We have also raise our concerns in private, in meetings with Egyptian officials in London and Cairo. Our Ambassador in Cairo last raised human rights concerns with the Egyptian authorities on 18 April. The UK wants to see increased political progress and better protection of human rights in Egypt, including implementation of the rights guaranteed by Egypt's constitution.</p> more like this
