<p>Since the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights' statement on 11 September, our
Ambassador has raised the situation in Rakhine with Burmese Ministers and has set
out our concerns about the violence, the large scale displacement of civilians, and
the need for improved humanitarian access. The Foreign Secretary had earlier spoken
to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on 7 September in similar terms and to underline
the need for any allegations of human rights abuses to be investigated. Subsequently,
at his press conference on 14 September, the Foreign Secretary described the situation
in Rakhine as an “abomination”, and urged the displaced Rohingya to be allowed back
and for the abuse of their human rights and killings to stop.</p>
