	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>​I spoke to Sudanese Foreign Minister Dirdiri on 23 January and 13 March to express the strength of our ongoing concern at the use of violence, the decision to declare a state of emergency and to urge the government to respect the rights of the Sudanese people. In addition, I raised our concern regarding the response to protests in Sudan, including the use of lethal force, with the Sudanese Foreign Minister and emphasised the importance of respect for the rule of law and for human rights. Most recently the Sudanese ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Office on 7 March to register the depth of our ongoing concern at recent declarations which further erode human rights. We remain deeply concern at the human rights implication of the Government of Sudan's response to protests. We continue to monitor the situation and consider the best means to support human rights improvements in Sudan, including through official engagement, public messaging, and international fora.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 14/03/2019 17:56:39 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>We continue to be concerned by the human rights situation in Sudan, including restrictions on freedom of expression, freedom of religion or belief, and sexual and gender based violence, especially in the conflict areas of Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile.</p><p>Sudan remains a Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Human Rights Priority Country. Improving human rights is a key objective in our engagement with Sudan. The launching of a Strategic Dialogue between the UK and Sudan in March 2016 has provided a means of discussing human rights issues and encouraging Sudan to meet their international obligations. The third session of the Dialogue (in March 2017) included a significant human rights element, with the FCO's Head of Human Rights and Democracy representing the UK.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 20/07/2017 09:05:55 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
