§ Adam PriceTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with the Chinese authorities concerning the treatment of Tibetan political prisoners. [105244]
§ Mr. RammellWe have raised specific cases of Tibetan prisoners three times this year, in both London and Beijing.
We raise Human Rights concerns both publicly and privately with the Chinese Government. We raise individual cases of concern, both Tibetan and Chinese, with the Chinese authorities in the context of the biannual UK/China Human Rights Dialogue, the last round of which was held in London in November 2002. We expect the next round to take place in May.
