Mining At Gong-Ngon Lari, Tibet

EDM number 358 in 2016-17, proposed by Anne McLaughlin on 19/07/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Asia and Environmental protection.

That this House notes with concern the treatment of protesters in Amchok, Tibet who were highlighting concerns about the environmental damage being caused by gold mining at Gong-ngon Lari; further notes that this site has occasioned at least 30 non-violent protests; notes the latest protest occurred in early June with local protesters appealing to the environmental protection provisions that appear in the Chinese constitution; regrets that many protesters have since reported being assaulted and imprisoned by the security services; and believes that China's exploitation of the environmental resources of Tibet should only proceed if consented to by those affected locally.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
