To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will discuss with his Chinese counterpart the case of Zhang Shaojie, a Christian leader in Henan Province, who has been jailed for 12 years.
This question was answered on 14th July 2014
We remain concerned about restrictions on freedom of religion and belief in China. We are aware of the case of Pastor Zhang Shaojie, and raised it directly with Chinese officials during the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue on 19-20 May. We continue to raise our concerns with Chinese counterparts, and we also highlight them publicly through the Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy.
