Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to address accountability for torture, sexual violence and other human rights violations in Burma.

We are deeply concerned by reports of the use of torture, sexual violence and other human rights violations in Burma. We remain one of the most vocal and active members of the international community in supporting those calling for the respect of human rights in Burma. We raise our strong concerns with senior members of the Burmese government and military regularly. We have made clear to the Burmese government that allegations of human rights abuses must be dealt with through clear, independent and transparent investigative and prosecutorial processes which meets international standards
