One of the key moves we could make is to get our European Union colleagues to start monitoring his case and show a real interest in it. We made that case to the European delegation when we were in Cairo. We were led to understand that one or two countries, in particular Greece, were against such a move. What has the Minister done to get our European colleagues to agree to monitor the case, which is one of the levers we have to try to change the situation which is intolerable?
