answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2021 answer text <p>The reports of the arbitrary detention of thousands of people, as well as credible reports of torture are deeply concerning. The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners estimates that 3,000 people have been detained and over 700 killed since the start of the coup. The UK is appalled at the actions of the military in killing its own people. The killing of children, many in their own homes, is particularly abhorrent. The violent crackdown on peaceful protestors is completely unacceptable and requires a strong message from the international community. It is essential that all those arbitrarily detained, are released. We condemn the politically motivated charges against those who are protesting the coup.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 15/04/2021 16:11:05 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
