The Government have not made any direct representations to the Government of Iraq on behalf of Mr al-Zaidi, an Iraqi national. We have, however, been able to establish through US counterparts that teams from the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights conduct frequent visits to Mr al-Zaidi at Camp Honor in Baghdad to monitor his situation. They report that he is being treated well. We also understand that Mr al-Zaidi enjoys access to legal advice and has an appeal lodged with the Iraqi Court of Cassation. His trial will be held in abeyance until the court has ruled on his appeal.
