§ Mr. LoveTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking, with reference to recent reports concerning those responsible, to assist the Burundian authorities to bring to justice the perpetrators of the crime against humanity in which Charlotte Wilson was murdered; and if he will make a statement. [151766]
§ Mr. MullinWe continue to press the Burundi Government for a full investigation into Miss Wilson's murder and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.838W We have offered assistance to the Burundi authorities from the Metropolitan Police and have raised the case at every suitable opportunity.
The current security situation and the functioning of the judicial system, as well as the current political climate, make investigations in Burundi very difficult. We are working hard with our international partners and those in the region to bring peace to Burundi. This will help create the conditions in which a thorough investigation can be made.
We have offered Miss Wilson's family all the consular assistance we properly can and shall continue to do so.
