We strongly condemn all attacks on places of worship. The UK continues to work with our partners in the Global Coalition Against Daesh to tackle the Daesh insurgency in Syria and Iraq. The UK position is that the Assad regime has lost all legitimacy as a result of its atrocities against the Syrian people. We therefore have no intention of encouraging the Global Coalition to cooperate with its security forces.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL17138 question first answered 31/07/2019 14:47:07 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

In his statement of 3 June, the Foreign Secretary condemned the attack on protestors by Sudanese security forces and said that the Transitional Military Council (TMC) bore full responsibility for these events. The UK has been clear, at both ministerial and official levels, that there must be justice and accountability for atrocities committed both by the former regime and more recently. On 23 June, the UK Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan delivered this message directly to the Sudanese authorities. The UK has also made public statements in multilateral fora such as the EU Foreign Affairs Council (17 June) and the UN Human Rights Council (9 July). We note the agreement between the TMC and Forces of Freedom and Change to conduct a transparent and independent investigation into the violence committed against peaceful protestors on 3 June.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 22/07/2019 14:52:55 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
