<p>The UK strongly condemns the attacks on civilians in Darfur, including the killing
of the West Darfur Governor, Khamis Abaker. This message was delivered publicly by
the Minister for Development and Africa on 16 June. The violence must end, humanitarian
access must be granted, and those responsible must be held to account. We will continue
to condemn human rights violations taking place in Sudan in international fora such
as the UN Human Rights Council, and the UK continues to fund and provide support to
the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Sudan (OHCHR), a UN body that
provides a crucial role in monitoring and reporting on human rights violations. We
are liaising with them as they now set up and run their remote monitoring mechanisms.
The UK has released funding to organisations who are working with local partners to
collect, verify and preserve digital content from the conflict, including incidents
of significant abuses.</p>
