    Navendu Mishra MP Member of Parliament for Stockport House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA Tel: 020 7219 3000 The Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP Secretary of State Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office King Charles Street Whitehall London SW1A 2AH 13 August 2021 Via email Dear Secretary of State, We are writing with concern about the developments in Afghanistan. Following the news that the Taliban have taken the 10th provincial capital in a week and the obvious implications of Taliban rule, we are hoping to seek assurances from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office that all refugees at risk from direct persecution by the Taliban will be given support from the UK Government. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has stated that there are almost 2.5 million registered refugees from Afghanistan, who comprise the largest protracted refugee population in Asia, and the second largest refugee population in the world. With the recent resurgence of the Taliban, this number will inevitably rise in the coming months. As we already know, minority communities, including Sikhs, Hindus and Hazara Muslims, have faced persecution in Afghanistan. In 2018, a delegation of Hindus and Sikhs were killed in a suicide bomb attack on their way to meet the Afghan President, and more recently, international bodies have warned that Hindus and Sikhs are facing extinction in the country.1 We know that in the past, Hindus were expected to wear yellow badges to identify themselves, a move which rightly provoked international criticism at the time.2 The persecution of Hazara people is also well-documented and as recently as 2020, there was the Bamyan bombing, which targeted civilians.3 The UN has warned of possible war crimes currently taking place and have urged all sides to return to the negotiating table and reach a peaceful settlement.

    The Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, King Charles Street, London, SW1A 2AH 17 December 2020 Dear Dominic, RE: International Court of Justice Case to prevent genocidal violence against the Rohingya by the Myanmar military We are writing to request that the British government make an intervention in support of The Gambia’s case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Gambia has brought proceedings against Myanmar for breach of the Genocide Convention, in response to Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya, a minority ethnic group who live in Rakhine State in Myanmar. The case is already starting to have an impact, with the ICJ making a provisional measures order, agreeing with The Gambia that there is a prima facie case of genocide of the Rohingya, and requiring Myanmar to take steps to protect the Rohingya who remain in Myanmar, including by providing regular reports to the Court on the protective action taken. The Order was adopted unanimously by all seventeen judges. A UN Fact-Finding Mission, which was deployed to investigate Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya, made strong recommendations that the Myanmar military should be investigated and prosecuted in an international criminal tribunal for “genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.” Ending impunity is essential not only to ensure justice and uphold international law, but also to deter further international crimes by the military in Myanmar. We are convinced that if the United Kingdom joins the case, it will bring significant added value, both legally and symbolically.
