uin	200545
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>​The UK remains deeply concerned about human rights protections in Nicaragua and continues to support the work of the UN and OAS. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) statement of 6 December denounced the establishment of a police state in Nicaragua, characterised by daily violations of human rights, suppression of fundamental freedoms, constant climate of fear and intimidation against human rights defenders and lack of due process and access to justice. On 22 November, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported 586 political prisoners, and we are alarmed by reports of ill-treatment of these prisoners. The UK supports the call from the OHCHR for the authorities to immediately end repression of those who speak out against the Government and we call on the Nicaraguan Government to safeguard the life, physical integrity and health of the people in their custody.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 13/12/2018 17:04:20 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK supports the Afghan government's ambition to become a more prosperous and stable state. The ongoing conflict adds to the challenges around this. There have been signs of progress: October's parliamentary elections, the first Afghan-led and secured election since 2001, saw over four million Afghans vote.
