Sudan: Churches

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will raise with his counterpart in the Government of Sudan the recent demolition of an evangelical church in the Khartoum suburb of Haj Yousif.

Answer

​We remain concerned at the infringements of religious freedoms, including the demolition of churches, and will continue to raise our concerns with the Government of Sudan as part of our regular dialogue on human rights. Promoting freedom of religion or belief as a means of enhancing tolerance and inclusion will remain a key part of our ongoing engagement with the Government of Sudan.
