We expect all concerned to act in accordance with international law and take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian casualties.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 30/07/2014 11:34:04 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

uin	HL641
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2014 answer text <p>In the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Human Rights and Democracy Report for 2013, we note that non-governmental organisations documented hundreds of attacks against minority religions, including violence, vandalism, and hate speech in Sri Lanka. We also note that statements by nationalist Buddhist groups, including the Bodu Bala Sena, fuelled concern over rising religious tensions.</p><p>Our High Commissioner to Colombo has discussed these matters with members of the Government of Sri Lanka. We have encouraged early action to promote peaceful co-existence between all communities, noting the importance of ensuring any acts of violence, intimidation or threats are thoroughly investigated and those responsible brought to justice. Officials from our High Commission in Colombo also met with representatives of the Bodu Bala Sena last year in order to discuss the organisation's activities and religious tensions in Sri Lanka. During the meeting, British officials expressed concern at attacks directed at Muslim and other minority religious communities.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 09/07/2014 16:43:39 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
