HC Deb 17 November 1997 vol 301 c11W
Mr. Peter Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will press the Government of the People's Republic of China for the early release of the Tibetan nun Ngawang Sangdrol. [16050]

Mr. Fatchett

We are deeply concerned about many individuals detained in China, including Tibetans. We take every opportunity to raise with Chinese authorities our concerns about religious and political freedoms in Tibet. I last did this when I met the Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister on 3 November.
