§ 23. Mr. Peter BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Chinese Government about the continuing imprisonment of the Tibetan nun Ngawang Sangdrol; and what prospects there are for her release. [83522]
§ Mr. Tony LloydWe are deeply concerned about the well-being of Ngawang Sangdrol, and others imprisoned in Tibet. Her name is on a list of individual cases which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister raised with Chinese leaders in October last year, and on an EU list of individual cases which was presented to the Chinese authorities on 7 May 1999. We will continue to raise her case with the Chinese authorities, both bilaterally and through the EU, and to press for her release.
