House of Lords written question – answered am ar 30 Ebrill 2009.
Baroness Northover
Spokesperson for International Development, Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson (International Development)
To ask Her Majesty's Government in light of recent evidence of mistreatment and arbitrary arrest of Darfuris upon their return to Sudan, whether they will consider reviewing their asylum policy.
Lord West of Spithead
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Security and Counter-terrorism), Home Office, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) (Security and Counter-terrorism)
We are committed to providing protection for those individuals found to need it in accordance with our obligations under international law. We closely monitor the situation in Sudan and, based on the latest available evidence, do not accept that all Darfuris should be afforded asylum in the UK. Neither do we accept that it is unsafe to return all Darfuris to Khartoum. Protection needs vary between individuals, which is why each asylum claim is carefully considered on its individual merits.
