<p>As we made clear in a statement alongside Troika partners (US and Norway) on 4
June, we condemn the recent violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful
protestors in Sudan, which left many civilians dead or injured. The Foreign Secretary
reiterated this in his statement on 6 June, which also called for the full restoration
of the internet and freedom of the media. The UK has called for the human rights of
all Sudanese people to be respected and for the resumption of the political process
with the protestors and the opposition, and an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led
government, as demanded by the Sudanese people, in a swift, orderly and peaceful manner.
On 6 June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
to express the grave concerns of the United Kingdom at the use of violence against
civilians by the Sudanese authorities. Also, the UK, through the UN Security Council
issued a statement on 13 June that called for the violence to stop and emphasised
the importance of human rights, protection of civilians, accountability and justice.</p>
