<p>Egypt is a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Priority Country and the
UK continues to urge the Egyptian Government to ensure full implementation of the
rights and freedoms set out in Egypt's Constitution. We are deeply concerned about
reports of torture and mistreatment in detention in Egypt. We will continue to urge
the Egyptian authorities to ensure all detainees are treated in accordance with relevant
international human right standards. We have raised our concerns in public and in
private, including at Ministerial level, through our statement at the UN Human Rights
Council and through our Human Rights and Democracy Report published on 5 June.</p>
