question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the situation in (1) Afrin, and (2) Eastern Ghouta, in Syria.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL5793
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2018 answer text <p>We are closely following developments in Afrin and wider north-western Syria. A combination of Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces and Turkish troops have advanced into the border areas of Afrin province as part of an operation launched on 20 January. There have been airstrikes, clashes between Turkish backed forces and the Kurdish YPG militia, and there are reports of civilian casualties. We are aware of reports of the deployment of pro-regime militia to the Afrin area since 20 February. We are concerned about the potential for further violence. We have been in close contact with Turkey and are calling for de-escalation and the protection of civilians in Afrin. While recognising Turkey's legitimate interest in the security of its borders, it remains in our shared interest to focus on achieving a political settlement that ends the war and suffering, and provides stability for all Syrians.</p><p>The Assad regime's brutal siege of Eastern Ghouta, coupled with escalating bombardment over the past week and reports of chemicals weapons use, is causing unprecedented levels of suffering. Non-governmental organisations, including Medecins Sans Frontieres, report over 500 civilians killed in Eastern Ghouta since 18 February, and many more injured. We welcome the unanimous adoption of UN Security Council resolution 2401 on 24 February which calls for a 30-day ceasefire in Syria to allow for delivery of humanitarian aid and medical evacuations, which are urgently needed across Syria, but particularly in Eastern Ghouta. Those with influence over the regime must now ensure the ceasefire is implemented in full.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/03/2018 17:43:51 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL5793
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned by the violent persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in Pakistan. On 15 March the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), joined our High Commissioner in Islamabad, in condemning the most recent attack on Christians in Lahore. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), discussed Pakistan’s misuse of the blasphemy laws with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in November 2014. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office monitors religious freedom in Pakistan in its annual Human Rights report, published last week. We continue to urge the government of Pakistan to protect the human rights of all its citizens as laid down in the Constitution and in accordance with international standards. answering member printed Lord Allen of Kensington question first answered 24/03/2015 13:54:18 answering member 4304 label Biography information for Lord Allen of Kensington
