answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>We are aware of the allegations made that Darfuris are responsible for recent violence against protestors in Sudan. We judge that these are not credible, and do not assess there to be any particular ethnic dimension to the protests movement or the response to it. The UK is following closely the protests in Sudan and condemns the response of the Sudanese authorities, including the use of lethal force by security forces and arbitrary detentions in response to peaceful protests.</p><p>Along with Troika partners, we have called for restraint by the authorities and continue to urge them at every opportunity to respect the rights of all the people of Sudan.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/04/2019 15:23:58 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the response to protests in Sudan, including the use of lethal force and arbitrary detentions in response to peaceful protests. Our Ambassador in Khartoum has frequently raised these concerns directly with the Government of Sudan. Further, I raised our concerns with the Foreign Minister of Sudan on 13 March where I emphasised the importance of human rights. Most recently, on 10 April, we (alongside US and Norway) released a statement calling for the Sudanese authorities to end the use of violence and to remove all restrictions to freedoms.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/04/2019 13:01:50 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
