<p>The UK, alongside Troika partners Norway and the USA made clear on 4 June that
we condemn the violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful protestors
in Sudan last week, which left many civilians dead or injured. We also condemn the
recent looting of the UN mission’s West Darfur Headquarters and call for all to respect
humanitarian principles. We are deeply concerned by reports that hospitals in Khartoum
are being 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, including sexual violence against civilians
and medical professionals, by the Sudanese authorities. The UK has called for the
human rights of all Sudanese people to be respected, 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>
