§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they have received any information from the Chinese authorities about the specific acts said to have been committed by Wei Jungsheng in his alleged attempt to overthrow the Government of China and whether the European Union diplomatic missions in Beijing will jointly appoint a senior official from amongst their staff to monitor the case, to attend, if possible, any court proceedings, and to report back periodically on the case, for publication in every country of the European Union.
§ Lord CheshamThe arrest of Wei Jungsheng is a matter of deep concern. We and our European Union partners are considering what further action to take, and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
