<p>The UK Government raises issues about human rights violations at a senior level
with the Government of Pakistan, urging them to ensure they act in line with international
human rights law, including ensuring everyone's right to a fair trial. In a letter
to caretaker Foreign Minister Jilani on 21 August, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon,
impressed the need for Pakistan's citizens to be able to exercise their democratic
rights and participate in peaceful, inclusive, credible elections. We continue to
monitor the situation. On 6 September Lord Ahmad condemned attacks against religious
minorities in his meeting with the Pakistani High Commissioner.</p>
