Foreign and Commonwealth Office has compiled a report, British Behaviour Abroad, and suggested a noticeable decline, more than 10%, in the number of Britons arrested overseas over the past year where drug arrests have rolled down by almost 20%.

In addition, the FCO team has notified 5,700 cases of Britons who were arrested last year in other countries, including Spain and US. The drug arrest cases are continue to be a significant problem in some countries, especially in parts of South America and the Caribbean where a high proportion of total arrests are drug related.

The past year has observed a decline in the number of natives travelling to abroad, even than the agency has reported an increase in figure of Britons hospitalized in abroad to 3,752. Spain had acknowledged such cases in bulk, 1024, followed by Greece. The FCO has tagged Thailand for possibilities where Britons are most likely to be hospitalized.

“But last year there were still 5,700 arrests of British nationals overseas. Prison conditions in some parts of the world can be very poor, overcrowded and, in some cases, dangerous and sentences can be much tougher than in the UK”, added Europe Minister David Lidington. “People are mistaken if they think the Foreign Office can get you out of jail. We can’t, but we will work hard to try and ensure your safety, and that you get a fair trial”.
