Syria: Druze
Asked by: Baroness Whitaker (Labour - Life peer) Monday 19th May 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recent violence against the Druze community in Syria. Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Recent violence against the Druze community in Syria was appalling. In our statement on 3 May, we publicly urged the Syrian government to take steps to shield civilians from violence and hold those responsible to account. The protection of all civilians and their full inclusion in the transition process is vital for peace in Syria. This will continue to be a priority in our engagement with the Syrian government. |
