<p>While we are aware of the cases of Samir Arbid and Mays Abu Gosh, we have not
made representations to the government of Israel about these specific cases. The British
Government has concerns about mistreatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons,
and about Israel's respect for its obligations as an occupying power, under applicable
international law. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have raised the treatment
of Palestinians in Israeli prisons with the Israeli authorities, most recently on
16 December. We emphasise the importance of treating prisoners and detainees humanely
and in accordance with international law.</p>
