Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 22 May 2018 to Question 143645, if he will (a) call for all charges against Noura Hussein to be dropped and (b) make further representations to the Sudanese authorities to that effect.

We are deeply concerned about Noura Hussein's case. We continue to make clear to the Government of Sudan our firm opposition to the use of the death penalty under any circumstances, and recall the principle of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that marriage should be entered into only with the free and full consent of spouses. We will continue to raise this case at a high level with the Government of Sudan.
