	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text The violent and draconian crackdown on peaceful protestors is completely unacceptable and requires a strong message from the international community. The people's right to protest and communicate freely must be respected. I met the United Nations Special Envoy to Myanmar to discuss the UK's concern at the coup and how we can ensure a coordinated international response. We also discussed the situation with the United Nations Special Rapporteur, expressing the UK's concern at the human rights violations, such as suppression of communication, currently being committed in Myanmar. The Foreign Secretary and I, as Minister for Asia, have spoken to a wide range of counterparts, including the US, France, Germany and Japan. We have also engaged with partners in ASEAN, including with the ASEAN Secretary General, to seek a strong and coordinated response. We welcome ASEAN's Five Point Plan on Myanmar and agree with ASEAN Leaders that the violence must end immediately. answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/04/2021 08:48:30 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
