	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The UK has consistently made clear to the Sudanese authorities that there must be justice and accountability for crimes committed by the former regime, including the violence against peaceful protesters on 3 June. We welcome the Sudanese commitment to an independent investigation into these events and urge the Sudanese authorities to deliver this swiftly.</p><p>We regularly discuss the human rights situation in Sudan and the issue of accountability with Sudanese counterparts. Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State responsible for human rights, did so with the Sudanese Ambassador to London on 5 August, and the UK Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva did so with the Sudanese Minister for Justice in the margins of the September UN Human Rights Council. We continue to do so regularly at official level. This is underpinned by our statement at the Human Rights Council on 25 September, where we publicly welcomed the formation of an independent committee of inquiry into the events of 3 June and urged all parties to ensure these investigations are independent and transparent.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 21/10/2019 15:14:55 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The British Government is deeply concerned by reports that hospitals in Khartoum were being controlled and targeted by Sudanese security forces. It is unacceptable for injured civilians to be prevented access to medical facilities. These are not the actions of responsible and credible authorities representing the people of Sudan.</p><p>On 6 June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to express our grave concerns at the use of all forms of violence against civilians and medical professionals, by the Sudanese authorities. This was reiterated in a most recent statement issued by the EU Foreign Affairs Council (FAC) on 17 June, which stated attacks against hospitals, medical staff and patients must stop, and that any obstacles to the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance needs to be removed immediately.</p><p>I had set out the UK's position at the FAC that called for the human rights of all Sudanese people to be respected, and the resumption of the political process leading to an agreed peaceful transfer of power to a civilian-led government, as demanded by the Sudanese people.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 24/06/2019 14:02:53 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
