answer text: We take all allegations of torture and mistreatment very seriously, whether they affect a dual or mono national. We regularly review these cases and our strategies. In June 2017, there were 166 ongoing cases where torture and/or mistreatment allegations were raised by mono or dual nationals. We do not distinguish these cases by nationality when considering how to act and therefore do not keep such statistics. Where appropriate, the pro bono medical panel members can provide advice to British nationals in detention overseas, via the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, about their medical condition following an assessment of their medical records. This is not limited to those cases where torture and/or mistreatment has been alleged. We do not keep statistics of the number or type of referrals made.
