<p>As Mr Halawa is an Irish citizen, the Irish Government is taking the lead on his
case and has been monitoring his trial; we have offered our support. FCO Ministers
have asked the Egyptian authorities to review mass judicial decisions and we continue
to raise concerns regarding reports of torture and mistreatment in detention with
the Egyptian authorities. We have also raised our concerns at the UN, most recently
at the Human Rights Council in September. In our statement we raised our concerns
about reports of torture, poor detention conditions and the handing down of death
sentences, as well as mass trials.</p>
