Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Myanmar to secure the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.

The UK continues to call for the release of those arbitrarily detained in Myanmar both bilaterally and through multilateral fora. On 19th June, to mark Aung San Suu Kyi's 80th birthday, the Minister for the Indo-Pacific called for her release and for all those arbitrarily detained. On 1st February, the Foreign Secretary called for Aung San Suu Kyi's release and all those arbitrarily detained. In April, we co-sponsored the UN Human Rights Council Resolution on Myanmar, calling for the immediate and unconditional release of all those who have been arbitrarily detained, including Aung San Suu Kyi.
