The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations she has made to the RSF on the detention of Muammar Ibrahim.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The UK strongly condemns reports of deliberate attacks on human rights defenders and journalists across Sudan. In October 2023, the UK led the charge to establish the UN Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), which has been renewed for two consecutive years with UK support; The FFM is the only independent body investigating human rights abuses across Sudan and has a mandate to document, report and investigate violations of international law, including the detention of human rights defenders and journalists. The UK strongly condemns any unlawful detainment and our Special Representative continues to engage the warring parties, pressing them to comply with international humanitarian law.
