answer text <p>This is an issue that we regularly to raise with the Burmese government and which I discussed with the Minister for Immigration and the Rakhine Chief Minister during their visit to the UK in October. While we welcome the limited citizenship verification in Taungpaw for internally displaced people that has seen some individuals from the Rohingya community granted citizenship status, we continue to urge the Burmese authorities to follow a transparent, inclusive and consistent process in establishing the status of all inhabitants of Rakhine State. We are also clear that, regardless of citizenship status, the human rights of all individuals in Rakhine must be fully respected.</p> more like this
