<p>The British Government condemns the violent attacks by Sudanese security forces
against peaceful protestors in Sudan last week, which left many dead or injured. The
Transitional Military Council (TMC) bears full responsibility. We have frequently
called for the Sudanese authorities to ensure that peaceful protests are not met with
violence and those responsible for the injuries and deaths of protestors are held
to account.</p><p>We have been consistent in public and in private that there must
be justice and accountability for the crimes committed by members of the former regime.
The UK strongly supports the mission of the International Criminal Court; due legal
process must be followed. The UK, through the UN Security Council issued a statement
on 13 June that called for the violence to stop and emphasised the importance of human
rights, protection of civilians, accountability and justice.</p>
