<p>Since the publication in June of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office-funded independent
report on Children in Military Custody, there has been some limited progress. This
includes a pilot project to use summons instead of night-time arrests, and steps to
reduce the amount of time a child can be detained before seeing a judge. We have welcomed
the steps taken to date, but we have called for further measures, including the mandatory
use of audio-visual recording of interrogations, investigation into continued reports
of single hand ties being used, and an end to solitary confinement for children.</p>
