answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The British Government is aware of reports of the detention of 13 Christians in Darfur last month, and welcomes their recent release. We continue to make clear to the Government of Sudan our expectation that all detainees are treated in accordance with international standards. Sudan remains a Human Rights Priority Country for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and we discussed freedom of religion or belief at the sixth round of the UK-Sudan Strategic Dialogue on 7 November. I visited Sudan in September, and the Minister for the Commonwealth and UN visited in October. We both raised religious freedom issues with senior members of the government and with Christian and Muslim religious leaders.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 07/11/2018 14:58:30 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
