Press release
The Foreign Secretary has issued a statement on China’s decision to sanction nine UK citizens.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
It speaks volumes that, while the UK joins the international community in sanctioning those responsible for human rights abuses, the Chinese government sanctions its critics. If Beijing want to credibly rebut claims of human rights abuses in Xinjiang, it should allow the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights full access to verify the truth.
