I'm worried about the health of Dr Abduljalil AlSingace who's 160+ days hunger strike in #Bahrain for his confiscated research to be handed to his family. To mark Bahrain's National day tomorrow I call for his release & Hassan Mushaima on humanitarian grounds @BahrainEmbUK

The UK is proud to support @Cen4infoRes and their vital work documenting atrocities in Sudan. Those responsible for these heinous crimes must not be free to act with impunity.

Sudan is on fire, and fighters are filming themselves, celebrating in front of burning buildings. We have collected thousands of videos, posted to social media, and mapped fire damage across the country. We can show you who is responsible.

Critical minerals deliver a green and safer world and are vital in almost every part of modern life - from building EVs to mobile phones. @PensanaRE building a rare earth mine in Longonjo is an example of how the 🇬🇧 and 🇦🇴 are partnering for sustainable economic growth.

Good news @MattHancock has committed England to #zeroHIV infections by 2030 as well as increasing the number of places on the PrEP Trial. But urgent action needed now to increase #PrEP trial places, to up-scale HIV testing and properly fund sexual health services

The famine facing Sudan is entirely man-made. The warring parties must remember their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and do everything in their power to ensure that this wholly unjustified war ends immediately.

The humanitarian situation in Sudan is desperate and urgent, and this government is determined to act. Today I called on the two warring parties to ensure this damaging conflict ends now. Starvation must never be used as a weapon of war.
