Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the ability of the United Nations Mission in Darfur to conduct a thorough investigation of reported mass rapes in Tabit during their visit on 4 November, in the light of the interruption of that visit by military intelligence personnel.
This question was answered on 27th November 2014
The refusal to allow the UN African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) access to Tabit on 4 November prevented them from conducting a thorough investigation in to the very serious allegations of mass rapes. Some access was subsequently possible on 9 November but we continue to call on the Government of Sudan to allow UNAMID full and unhindered access to Tabit.
