Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether officials in his Department have plans to raise the human rights situation in Egypt at the next UN Human Rights Council session.

We have continuing concerns about the human rights situation in Egypt, and raise these regularly with the Egyptian authorities. We and our partners have previously highlighted our concerns in the UN Human Rights Council, and we will do so again at the next UN Human Rights Council session.
