Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What developments there have been since the Amnesty International Report on Torture in Iraq.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Young)

Since the Amnesty International Report on Torture in Iraq was published in April 1985 we have taken every suitable opportunity to express our concern to the Iraqi Government about allegations of human rights violations. We raised the matter of human rights violations with the Iraqi Prime Minister and Foreign Minister during his visit here in December.
