Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to the Government of Uganda on military incursions in the Ugandan Parliament, including during the 19 December 2017 debate on the presidential age limit.

​Our High Commissioner in Kampala is following this matter closely and has raised, along with EU colleagues, the issue of the use of security forces in the Ugandan Parliament with the Ugandan Prime Minister. We have also raised our concerns with the Government of Uganda about restrictions on political and civic space and continue to call on the Ugandan authorities to guarantee fundamental freedoms of expression, association and assembly.
