To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department has made representations to the Government of Israel on the (a) detention, (b) welfare, and (c) legal status of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, including reports that he has been held without charge and subjected to torture and medical neglect.

Answered by Hamish Falconer - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
