<p>As the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have said, the UK has a close and longstanding
relationship with Pakistan. We are aware of recent reports of arrests in Pakistan

Pakistan to the UK, Moazzam Ahmad Khan on 9 May and to Hina Rabbani Khar, Pakistan's
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, on 10 and 13 May, emphasising the importance
of peaceful democratic processes and adherence to the rule of law.</p>
