UK Addresses China in 45th Universal Human Rights Review

The UK has four recommendations:

  1. Cease the persecution and arbitrary detention of Uyghurs and Tibetans, and allow genuine freedom of religion or belief and cultural expression without fear of surveillance, torture, forced labour, or sexual violence, and implement OHCHR recommendations on Xinjiang.

  2. Repeal the Law on Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong as recommended by the UN and cease prosecutions, including of Jimmy Lai.

  3. Guarantee an impartial judiciary and cease the harassment of lawyers, the use of the death penalty, and 'residential surveillance in a designated location'.

  4. Cease the restriction of civil society and independent media, end forced repatriations, and stop targeting human rights defenders.

Thank you Mr. President.
