The APPG focuses on the arbitrary detention of British citizens abroad, and the taking of British citizens as hostages for leverage in State to State relations. The APPG coordinates parliamentary support for specific cases and builds on advocacy to appoint a Director within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on Arbitrary Detention.
APPGs can register with Parallel Parliament and submit files and articles to be placed here.
Parallel Parliament offers the facility for APPGs to submit written content and files, which are made available through this page.
Submitters can draft and edit publications, and either release them on demand, or schedule release for a future date.
Both text content and attached files submitted through this facility is indexed by our website, and made available through both the search function and relevant e-mail alerts. Any of our users registered for an alert which matches your content, will receive a link making them aware of its publication.
