ARCHIVED Ban Chen Quanguo
The architect of Tibetan and Uyghur repression must be banned from the UK…
These developments show that our sustained pressure has led to cross-party backing for action to be taken against Chen Quanguo, and other Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. And yet, there has been very little apart from empty words from our leaders.
We need to keep up the pressure and we need your help to do so. Email your local MP today and demand that action cannot wait.
