question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations, if any, they made to the government of Sudan during the imprisonment of the human rights lawyer Tasneem El-Zaki, after she was jailed for defending rape victims; and what assessment they have made of her statement that "There’s no personal freedom in Sudan”.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2018 answer text <p>The British Embassy in Khartoum engaged extensively with the Government of Sudan throughout 2017 on the case of Tasneem El-Zaki and the human rights defender Dr Mudawi Ibrahim, both of whom were pardoned and released last year. Improving the human rights situation in Sudan, including urging the Government to respect the constitutional rights of Sudanese citizens, remains a key priority of our bilateral engagement. It is crucial that the people of Sudan are permitted to exercise their right to freedom of expression, including freedom of the media and of political participation, and we continue to make this clear to the Government of Sudan.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/02/2018 16:15:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of allegations made about the treatment of Amal Habani during her arrest, and of the arrests of Nahid Jabrallah and Mohamed Aldouma. The British Government has continually raised the issue of the arbitrary arrest of political leaders and activists and the treatment of those detained following the recent protests in Sudan, and most recently did so at a senior level in a bilateral meeting on 7 February, and publicly through a public statement by EU ambassadors resident in Sudan on 30 January.</p><p>We continue to call on the Government of Sudan to release all these detainees as soon as possible, and continue to make clear our expectation that all detainees will be treated in accordance with international standards. More widely, we urge the Government of Sudan to implement the recommendations of the National Dialogue that relate to limiting the powers of the National Intelligence and Security Service to arrest and detain individuals.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/02/2018 16:28:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
