We are closely monitoring developments in the case of Maira Shahbaz. On 16 November, I raised our concerns about Freedom of Religion or Belief with Pakistan's Human Rights Minister, Dr Shireen Mazari. Also on 16 November, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Dr Christian Turner CMG, raised our concerns about the case of Maira Shahbaz with the Governor of Punjab, Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar. As you will understand, we cannot comment further on individual cases.
