<p>The British Government takes Mr Tsege's case extremely seriously and is working
to ensure his welfare and legal access while he is detained. This Government has provided
significant support to Mr Tsege and his family. Our Ambassador to Ethiopia has visited
Mr Tsege on multiple occasions – most recently on 12 October. It is not common practice
for consular visits to be held in private. During our consular visits to Mr Tsege,
an Ethiopian official has been present. We consider this presence of an Ethiopian
official to be in accordance with Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular
Relations, and in line with local laws and regulations.</p>
