The Foreign and Commonwealth Office offer impartial consular assistance to British nationals imprisoned abroad, irrespective of the offence alleged. We review each prisoner’s case individually and offer a tailored service accordingly; this allows us to use our resources to support those most in need, or held under the most difficult conditions.
