Ancestral remains should no longer be displayed in UK museums, say MPs

Remains brought to Britain as part of colonialism, such as Egyptian mummies, should be repatriated, a report says

The public display of human remains in the UK, including the ancient Egyptian mummies in the British Museum, is offensive and should be stopped, according to a group of MPs.

A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations (APPG-AR) said it should become an offence to sell ancestral remains or publicly display them without consent.
