British peers call for return of skulls, bones sourced illegally
UK peers urge the return of human remains displayed in British museums to their rightful communities and call for a sales ban on such items. The debate follows a controversy over a 19th-century Naga skull sale. British museums hold many ancestral remains acquired during the colonial era, often through violence. Culture minister expresses shock at online sales of these objects.
