There is a mixture of UN and EU sanctions regimes in place for Sudan and its citizens. Following the removal of Bashir and recent events we are, with international partners, considering how we can hold Sudanese regime figures accountable for serious abuses. We are seeking information on financial flows relating to Bashir's overthrow, and will act accordingly.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/07/2019 13:20:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
