<p>The UN African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) has stated that it was denied access
by Government of Sudan forces when UNAMID tried to visit Tabit on 4 November. We are
aware of other reports claiming UNAMID did gain access on 4 November but we have not
seen evidence to support these claims. The UK is not at this time pushing for an inquiry
into UNAMID’s actions on 4 November. We note that UNAMID was granted access to Tabit
on 9 November, but are concerned by reports that their investigations took place under
the close observation of Sudanese security officials. We urge both UNAMID and the
Government of Sudan to immediately take forward their investigations so that the full
facts around the deeply disturbing allegation of mass rape in Tabit can be established.</p>
