Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
Did the Prime Minister have a chance, in the many bilateral conversations he will have had at the European Council, to discuss the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Europe at the moment—currently in London? Why will not the Prime Minister mention the name of Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel peace laureate who is in the Chinese gulag? Mrs Thatcher also raised the position of Sakharov in public and said, ““Get him out of the gulag.”” Will the Prime Minister take the opportunity now to say, ““Liu Xiaobo should be out, not in prison””?
