	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>Reports of the number of detainees, deaths and injuries vary. On 12 January the Government of Sudan reported that 24 deaths had occurred. Activist groups and Non-Governmental Organisations assess the number to be considerably higher. We are unable to verify these figures independently, but we continue to express our deep concern at the current situation, both bilaterally and as part of the Troika (with the USA and Norway). We are urging the Government of Sudan to respect the Sudanese people's right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and to ensure those responsible for the deaths of protestors are held to account. We expect political activists, human rights defenders, journalists and others who are being detained without charge or trial to be released immediately, and for all detainees to be treated in accordance with international standards. We continue to monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/01/2019 16:30:01 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>There are no current joint security programmes between the UK and Government of Sudan. The extent of UK funded defence engagement with the Government of Sudan is limited to the provision of a small scale education programme to the regular Sundanese armed forces that focuses on International Humanitarian Law, the Law of Armed Conflict and on Governance and Security Sector Reform. This is achieved through the teaching of English language and graduate-level lectures, using professionally qualified teachers, academics and lawyers.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/01/2019 16:36:41 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
