UK 🇬🇧 Statement on China's Universal Periodic Review.
Delivered at #HRC56 by @SimonManleyFCDO
Read full statement🔽
In January, we were given just 45 seconds to comment and make recommendations on China’s human rights record.
Today, China announced that it rejected each and every one of our recommendations. Why?

UK opposes all attempts to restrict press freedom. We are:
🔹taking action against Iran-backed plots to kill journalists on UK soil
🔹standing up for press freedom in Hong Kong
🔹calling for the release of those detained for their reporting in China👇

👉Today, all of our statements delivered in Geneva are delivered by women.

I’ve been celebrating midsummer for 17years - from Marstrand in the West to the HighCoast in the East - my favourite celebration: of life, love & Summer.
Here’s a throwback pic from last year with my glorious godson at our cabin on the lake.
