We are aware of recent reporting that Dr Safiya has been moved to solitary confinement. We have raised our concerns about this case on a number of occasions.

We will continue to monitor developments closely and raise issues where appropriate. As and when there is anything further to report, I will update the Hon Member accordingly.
