Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made since the UN Universal Periodic Review in November 2018 on the release of Tibetan human rights defender Tashi Wangchuk.

We remain concerned at the handling of the case of Tibetan language advocate Tashi Wangchuk; his case raises serious concerns about due process and transparency of justice in China. A UK diplomat attempted to attend his trial in January 2018 and the FCO issued a tweet following his sentencing. We most recently raised his case during China’s Universal Periodic Review in November 2018.
