The UK is deeply concerned by the arbitrary detention of democratically elected politicians, civil society, protesters and foreign nationals. We secured a strong statement from the G7 immediately after the coup condemning the actions of the military. We worked with partners at the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Council to ensure that there was a strong coordinated message from the international community about the actions of the military. The Security Council was clear that all those detained arbitrarily should be released. We have also summoned the Myanmar Ambassador twice and stressed that those in arbitrary detention must be released and to seek assurances as to the wellbeing of those detained, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.

We have used our Presidencies of both the G7 and the UN Security Council to secure strong statements which re-iterated these points.
