<p>Consular officials in Iraq and the UK are continuing to provide consular assistance
to Mr Fitton and his family. We cannot interfere in the judicial process of another
country, just as we would not expect interference in our own. The British Ambassador
in Baghdad has raised and will continue to raise our interest in Mr Fitton's case
with the Iraqi Government. While he is detained, we will continue to register our
interest in Mr Fitton, including that the conditions of the prison where he is detained
are in line with international standards. Mr Fitton's safety and welfare remain of
the upmost importance.</p>
