Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of estimates by Burma Campaign UK that 26,000 people have been arrested by the military since the coup at the start of 2021, and that 20,00 political prisoners are currently in jail in Burma.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK condemns the ongoing serious human rights violations by the Myanmar military regime. Nearly 20,000 people are arbitrarily detained in Myanmar - among them journalists, healthcare workers and political prisoners and over 25,000 have been arrested since the coup in February 2021. We have received reports of torture, sexual violence, ill treatment and fatalities in detention. We continue to call for the release of all those arbitrarily detained, including most recently in a UN General Assembly resolution co-sponsored by the UK and adopted on 15 November 2023.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government when they last raised the treatment of pro-democracy advocates in Burma at the United Nations, and when they intend to do so again; and what discussions they have had with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court or with the Members of the International Court of Justice to ensure that members of the Burmese military who are responsible for torture, sexual violence, and killings are brought to justice.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
On 15 November 2023 the UK co-sponsored a UN General Assembly resolution calling on the Myanmar military to release all those who have been arbitrarily detained on political grounds. We will continue to seek opportunities to raise our concerns at the UN and other multilateral fora. We support the International Criminal Court Prosecutor's initiative to investigate acts committed against the Rohingya. In November, we jointly filed a declaration of intervention at the International Court of Justice in The Gambia's case alleging Myanmar has perpetrated genocide against the Rohingya, in order to set out our interpretation of the relevant provisions of the Genocide Convention before the Court.
