Chinese Embassy And Correspondence About Falun Gong Practitioners (EDM1320)

Chinese Embassy And Correspondence About Falun Gong Practitioners

EDM number 1320 in 2001-02, proposed by Lynne Jones on 15/05/2002.

That this House notes that the Chinese Embassy has circulated unsolicited material to honourable Members regarding Falun Gong; notes the discourtesy of the Chinese Embassy in failing to reply to letters from honourable Members in relation to human rights for Falun Gong practitioners in China which calls into question the sincerity of the message from the Chinese Ambassador in the document commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the establishment of China - UK ambassadorial diplomatic relations, that constructive dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equality is the only positive way in handling differences; and calls on the Government to seek assurances from the Chinese Ambassador that points of concern raised by honourable Members will receive a considered response.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
