Such cases may merit a punishment of additional days to a prisoner’s time spent in custody if the prisoner or young person is found guilty. Only Independent Adjudicators can make an award of additional days as a punishment. The most serious offences will be referred to the Police.</p>

This information is not recorded centrally and accordingly it would be impractical to attempt to produce a comprehensive list of such meetings and discussions. The Foreign Secretary himself met his Human Rights Advisory Group on 10 October to discuss current challenges to press freedom.</p><p>The FCO also supports projects run by organisations that promote press freedom. In the past 12 months, the FCO has granted more than £1.3 million from the Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy to projects dedicated to freedom of expression and support for civil society.</p>
