Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of Dafuris who remain incarcerated in Sudan's prisons despite the issuing of a release order; what information they have about the wellbeing of those prisoners; and what representations they have made to the government of Sudan regarding the continued detention of those prisoners.

The Government of Sudan does not release statistics on the number of detainees from each state held in its prisons. We continue to urge the Government of Sudan to guarantee the constitutional and human rights of its citizens, including the right to freedom of expression, to political participation, and to due process in the judicial system.
