To ask Her Majesty’s Government what information they have about the fate of students involved in protests in Chabcha Sorig Lobling School in Chabcha County, north-eastern Tibet; and about any immolations which have recently occurred in Tibet. [HL3683]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what information they have about the fate of students involved in protests in Chabcha Sorig Lobling School in Chabcha County, north-eastern Tibet; and about any immolations which have recently occurred in Tibet. [HL3683]
We are aware of reports that Tibetans Rabten, Wangdue Tsering, Chamba Tsering,
Choekyong, Tashi Kunsang, Dorjee Tsering, Sanggye Dundrup and Kunsang Bum, all students at the Sorig Lobling medical school, were sentenced to prison terms of five years on 5 December, apparently in connection with their role in protests in Gonghe county (known as Chabcha in Tibetan), Qinghai Province, on 26 November. We are seeking to clarify the nature of the charges against them, and whether they had access to defence lawyers of their own choosing. We are concerned by reports that police in Gonghe used force to disperse protesters, with a number of students reportedly requiring hospital treatment for injuries sustained in the course of this incident. We are also aware of reports that three Tibetan monks have been detained for disseminating information about the Gonghe protests. We would urge the relevant authorities to respect the constitutionally guaranteed rights of all Chinese citizens to freedom of speech, assembly and demonstration.
Since 16 March 2011 there have been 94 immolations (of which 43 have not been confirmed by official state media). At least 77 incidents are believed to have led to the death of the individual involved. They have taken place in four regions—Sichuan, TAR, Qinghai and Gansu.
The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right honourable friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), issued a statement on 17 December setting out our serious concerns about the self-immolations in Tibetan regions, which is available at: www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-has-serious-concerns -about-human-rights-in-tibet.

I am aware of reports that some farmers have been threatened but we do not have information on numbers. Any threat will be taken seriously and should be reported to the police.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their latest assessment of the crackdown on protesters in Syria.[HL822]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their latest assessment of the crackdown on protesters in Syria.[HL822]
Fifteen months on from the start of the protest in Syria some estimate that more than 15,000 people have been killed and thousands of political prisoners are imprisoned and at risk of mistreatment and torture. Over 85,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries and up to half a million are internally displaced.
The UK has condemned the actions of the Syrian regime and been at the forefront of international action to put pressure on the regime to stop the violence, including through European Union sanctions.
We believe the Annan plan is the best hope to achieve an end to violence and an orderly Syrian-led political transition. We are discussing with key partners what more we can do, including in the United Nations, to support the Annan plan.
