As we made clear alongside Troika partners (US and Norway) on 4 June, we condemn the
violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful protestors in Sudan last
week, which left many civilians dead or injured. The Foreign Secretary reiterated
this in his statement on 6 June, which also called for the full restoration of the
internet and freedom of the media. The UK has called for the human rights of all Sudanese
people to be respected and for the resumption of the political process with the protestors
and the opposition, and an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led government,
as demanded by the Sudanese people, in a swift, orderly and peaceful manner. On 6
June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to
express the grave concerns of the United Kingdom at the use of violence against civilians
by the Sudanese authorities.
