<p>The UK Government is opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. Whenever
there is a case of a British national on death row, provided that individual wants
assistance from the UK Government, we make political representations at many levels
to the government of the country in question. There is no one-size-fits-all approach;
we will tailor our interventions on a case-by-case basis in a way that we judge to
be most effective to prevent executions being carried out. Beyond political representations
by Her Majesty's Government, other interventions might include: engaging local and
UK-based Non-Governmental Organisations to provide support to British nationals facing
the death penalty; liaising closely with the British national's legal team to ensure
any lobbying actions we take complement their ongoing legal activity; and working
closely with international partners to encourage wider lobbying.</p>
