answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the level of violence and tactics used by the Government of Sudan in response to peaceful protests, in particular reports of security forces involvement and by the use of lethal force, tear gas and violence within hospitals. Reports indicate that the Police and National Intelligence Security Service have been leading the Sudan Government response; we do not yet know the extent or role of the Sudanese Armed Forces but are monitoring closely. Along with our Troika partners (the USA and Norway) we have called for restraint by the Government of Sudan and continue to urge them at the highest levels to respect the Sudanese people's right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.</p> more like this
