§ The Prime MinisterMy discussions with Colonel Gadaffi on 25 March focused on international and regional security issues.
We are aware of the case of Salem Abu Hanak and are monitoring developments.
We remain concerned about Libya's human rights record and will continue to press Libya to implement its recent announcements to sign international agreements against torture and abolish the "People's Courts".
