The UK has moment (10 December 2021) blazoned new warrants against the Myanmar service for their continued repression of the mercenary population and for serious mortal rights violations.
The warrants, blazoned alongside the US and Canada, demonstrate the UK’s loyal commitment to hold Myanmar’s military responsible for mortal rights violations and our resoluteness to act, together with our mates, to limit its access to arms, outfit and backing.
The UK has also sanctioned Furqan Bangalzai, a former commander in the terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, who helped orchestrate the 2017 bombing of the Lal Shahbaz Qalandar sanctum in Pakistan. Designating Bangalzai for his part in the attack, in which further than 70 Sufi worshipers were killed, reinforces the UK’s commitment to defending religious freedom where nonage faith groups face persecution.
Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State for South Asia, the UN, and the Commonwealth and the Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Precluding Sexual Violence in Conflict said
.The warrants made moment target some of the most callous violations and abuses of mortal rights, including cases where civilians suffer implacable state suppression and worshippers have been targeted and killed for their religious beliefs.
The UK will always be a fierce champion of mortal rights and we will work with our fellow republic and mates, as a network of liberty, to hold to regard those who deny these abecedarian freedoms.
