Asked by:
Wendy Morton (Conservative)

The Foreign Secretary has not had discussions on the extradition of Bashar al Assad to Syria.

Accountability is key to any sustainable transition and we continue to advocate for this to be part of the transitional process. The Foreign Secretary raised the need for accountability most recently with interim Foreign Minister Shaibani at the International Contact Group for Syria in Riyadh on 12 January.
