Proceeding contribution from Nigel Adams (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 June 2021. It occurred during Urgent question on Uyghur Tribunal: London.


Uyghur Tribunal: London

I struggled to hear all of that question, but I can pick up on a key point to which the hon. Gentleman referred: the inability of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to access the region. If China really wants to dispute the compelling evidence of systematic violations in Xinjiang, all it has to do is, as the hon. Gentleman said, allow the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights or another independent credible body urgent and unfettered access. That will allow such a body to investigate and verify the truth.
