answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2024 answer text <p>The UK is closely monitoring rising instability in Mali. There has been an increase in human rights abuses and violations, including on religious minority groups. The violence is sadly widespread but does not appear to be religiously motivated. Following the recent withdrawal of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), it is essential that the authorities in Mali deliver on their commitment to a political transition, with free, fair, transparent and inclusive presidential elections. The UK is committed to working with our partners to support initiatives to protect human rights in Mali.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 05/03/2024 16:40:19 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
