<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>
