HC Deb 15 March 1995 vol 256 c586W
Mrs. Liddell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action is being taken by the British Government to curb human rights abuses in the Sudan.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We regularly take action, bilaterally, in concert with EU partners, and at the United Nationals, to press the Sudanese Government to improve their appalling human rights record. Earlier this month we co-sponsored a resolution abut the human rights situation in Sudan at the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva.
