§ Mr. SimpsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to the Government of Israel concerning the treatment of Lebanese detainees being held in Khiam prison in southern Lebanon.
§ Mr. David DavisWe regularly raise our concerns about the treatment of Lebanese detainees being held in Khiam prison with the Israeli Government. We welcome recent reports that detainees are now being allowed visitors. However, we remain concerned about continued reports of ill treatment of detainees and urge those responsible for Khiam prison to grant the International Committee of the Red Cross full access.
