<p>When the former Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede
and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), visited Ethiopia in June 2016, he stated that he was satisfied
that Mr Tsege was not being ill-treated and that he was receiving regular visits from
family members in Ethiopia. Our Ambassador to Ethiopia last visited Mr Tsege on 2
August 2016. This was the eleventh consular visit to Mr Tsege. At each visit, we ask
Mr Tsege about his treatment in prison and whether he has any welfare issues that
he would like to raise. Where we have Mr Tsege's permission to do so, we raise any
concerns or issues about his welfare and treatment with the authorities, in line with
our standard consular practice. We continue to monitor Mr Tsege's welfare closely
and to support him and his family.</p>
