Sri Lanka
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead on 22 February (WA 256), whether they have raised the issue of anti-conversion legislation with the Government of Sri Lanka.
- Answer
-
Due to the dissolution of the Sri Lankan parliament ahead of elections in April, the draft anti-conversion legislation has fallen into abeyance. We have had no further discussions with the Sri Lankan Government on this matter since my Written Answer on 22 February. We stand ready to raise our concerns over this, or any other legislation that reduces freedoms protected by international human rights law, with the new Sri Lankan Government.
