answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>​We regularly engage faith-based organisations and raise appropriate concerns with the Nigerian government on the persecution of Christians by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa. Our assessment remains that religious identity is one among a number of factors in recent incidents of intercommunal violence across parts of Nigeria, although the root causes are complex, and include disputes over land, farming rights, the impact of climate change, grazing routes and access to water. Our High Commission in Abuja is engaging closely with international partners, the Nigerian Government, state governments and the National Economic Council on the development of measures to address the underlying causes of the conflict.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 10/04/2019 14:19:51 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>Saudi Arabia remains a Foreign and Commonwealth Office human rights priority country, particularly because of the use of the death penalty, women’s rights and restrictions on freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion or belief. The British Government strongly supports the right to freedom of religion or belief, which is restricted in Saudi Arabia. We have made these views clear to the Saudi authorities. The UK position was made clear in the UK Statement for Saudi Arabia’s Universal Periodic Review adoption in March 2019.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 10/04/2019 14:27:28 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
