IMPRISONMENT OF RUNGYEE ADAK IN TIBET

That this House notes with concern the eight year prison sentence handed down to the Tibetan nomad Rungyee Adak by the Chinese authorities for taking up a microphone at the annual Lithang horse-racing festival and calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet and for the release of the Panchen Lama; and urges the UK Government to raise the injustice of his case, and particularly in the run-up to the Olympic Games, to continue to pressurise the Chinese government to respect fundamental human rights and basic civil and religious freedoms in Tibet, including the right to self-determination.
