Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered at on 31 July 2023.
Lord Alton of Liverpool
Crossbench
To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the military regime in Myanmar regarding the release from prison of Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the National League for Democracy.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK has repeatedly called for the military to release prisoners who have been arbitrarily detained, including Aung San Suu Kyi. In December 2022, the UN Security Council passed the first ever resolution on the situation in Myanmar, coordinated by the UK, which urged immediate action by the military regime to release all those arbitrarily detained, including Aung San Suu Kyi. The UK reiterated this demand in the G7 Leader's statement on 20 May.
