HC Deb 17 March 1995 vol 256 c778W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action Her Majesty's Government propose to take in relation to the imprisonment by the Chinese authorities of Liu Gang, an Amnesty prisoner of conscience.

Mr. Goodlad

During my visit to China last July, a list of prisoners of concern to us was handed over to the Chinese authorities. This list included the case of Liu Gang. My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary again raised the list with the Chinese Foreign Minister last September. We will continue to raise Liu Gang's case at every suitable opportunity.
