The British Embassy in Rangoon has provided consular assistance to Mr Rasalingam Niranjan
since 1 December 2014 when it was established that Mr Niranjan had been detained.
That same month we raised the late notification of Mr Niranjan’s arrest in a Note
Verbale and reminded the then Burmese government of their obligations under the Vienna
Convention on Consular Relations. In May 2015 the Ambassador re-stated our interest
in the case, raised concerns about Mr Niranjan’s health and the progress of his legal
cases. A further Note Verbale was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January
2016 re-stating our interest in the case and concern about its progress.
