Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to applying Magnitsky-style sanctions to those responsible for the military coup in Sudan; and what discussions they have had with international allies regarding a coordinated imposition of such sanctions.

The UK condemned in the strongest terms the coup on 25 October 2021. Following the coup, the UK has consistently urged all Sudanese actors, including the military, to engage constructively in the political process to establish a civilian-led transitional government. The UK, alongside our international partners, continues to consider all options to maintain pressure on those looking to de-rail the current political process, including sanctions. However, we do not speculate about future sanctions, as to do so might reduce their impact.
