	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Ministers consistently raise issues relating to human rights with the Egyptian authorities. In June 2017, the Foreign Secretary issued a statement of concern about the non-governmental organisation law, arrests of political activists and the blocking of news websites. The Minister for the Middle East and Africa raised restrictions on civil society with Foreign Minister Shoukry and Interior Minister Ghaffar during his visit to Cairo in August last year. We have called for the release of journalists and political detainees who remain imprisoned, and for the review of mass judicial decisions. We have also raised our concerns about reports of torture and mistreatment in detention, including through our interventions at the UN Human Rights Council, and in the FCO's Human Rights Priority Country reports. On LGBT rights, the Egyptian government is well aware of our concerns regarding the current situation. We continue to call on the Government of Egypt to uphold and protect the rights of all minorities in the country.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/02/2018 17:04:54 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
