Lord Ahmed

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have ever taken action against a head of state for inciting violence in London. [HL1883]

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Malloch-Brown)

I am not aware of any prosecution proceedings brought against a head of state in relation to inciting violence in London. The Government continue to promote the observance of international human rights standards in our contacts with all other Governments.
