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 Burmese Government on allegations of the bulldozing of Rohingya mass graves; and if he will make a statement.

During his visit in February 2018 to Burma the Foreign Secretary saw first-hand Rohingya villages which had been razed. The FCO accepts that has been ethnic cleansing. The Foreign Secretary expressed his deep concern over the human tragedy of the Rohingya to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi during their meeting in Naypyidaw on 11 February. He lobbied that Burmese authorities carry out a full, credible and independent investigation into the violence in Rakhine and hold to account those responsible for human rights violations.
