There have been five prison visits to the person concerned. There has also been direct personal contact with the Governor, the Deputy Governor and the Senior Charge Nurse, as well as written and telephone contact with the prison authorities, including on the medical concerns of the prisoner. The most recent contact with the prison authorities was on 10th April last.

During the contact on 10 April, which was by telephone to the Governor of Full Sutton, the Embassy was assured that the prisoner was receiving ongoing medical attention for his injuries, that the Governor would speak personally to him, and that he would be medically reassessed. An officer from the Embassy will again visit the person concerned on Wednesday, 17 May. The officer will raise with the prison authorities the current medical facilities being afforded to the prisoner, and any other appropriate issue that the prisoner may wish to have raised.
