The Bishop of Chelmsford received the following written answer on 23rd May 2024:
The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford asked His Majesty’s Government:
- what representations they have made to the government of Israel regarding the release of Layan Nasir, a young Palestinian Christian woman, from administrative detention following her arrest on 6 April.
- what assessment they have made of the human rights implications of the government of Israel’s practice of administrative detention.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, FCDO): We continue to be alarmed about reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees in military detention. We have been clear that Israel must fulfil its responsibilities under International Humanitarian Law, most recently during the Foreign Secretary’s call with Foreign Minister Katz on 13 May.
