Uyghurs

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the implications for her policies of reports of intimidation and attempted forced extradition of Uyghur Muslims living in UK.

Answer

We continually assess potential threats in the UK, and take protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. Any attempt by any foreign power to intimidate, harass or harm individuals or communities in the UK will not be tolerated.

All extradition requests to the UK are subject to the safeguards contained in legislation and the full scrutiny of the UK courts. The UK does not have a bilateral extradition treaty with the People’s Republic of China.
