Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Ann Clwyd (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 on behalf of the Department for International Development.
Libya (Humanitarian Aid)
- Question
- As the Minister knows, a team from Amnesty International has been in Libya for the past month, and it has found evidence of hundreds of missing and detained people. Given Gaddafi's track record of extreme cruelty and torture, will he try to ensure that, at the very least, the ICRC has access to those detained people, so that news can be given to their families and they can have some contact with them?
- Answer
-
The right hon. Lady, who rightly always champions these issues, is entirely correct, which is why we and the United Nations have called strongly for unfettered access for humanitarian agencies. We continue to call for that access to be given throughout Libya.
