	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2019 answer text <p>We are aware of an incident in February during which a number of academics were arrested by Sudan's security services following a protest outside the University of Khartoum. We understand that these individuals were released within 24 hours. The UK has made frequent representations to the Government of Sudan through official engagement in Khartoum, public messaging and at Ministerial levels, urging the authorities to respect in full the right of the Sudanese people to protest. We continue to call for the immediate release of all of those detained as a result of protests, and for them to be treated in accordance with international standards.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 08/03/2019 09:22:46 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
