Business question from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
On Sunday, there was an uprising in Urumqi, in the Xinjiang province of north-west China, and its suppression led to more than 150 people being killed and to more than 1,500 being detained. May we have a statement early next week about the action that the Government have taken on the issue? And may we have a guarantee that the Prime Minister will contact Hu Jintao, if he has not already done so, to ensure the human rights of those who are being detained?
