Sir Charles Walker calls on all MPs to stand as one in support of MPs sanctioned by the Chinese Communist party for speaking out about human rights abuses in Xinjiang.

Sir Charles Walker (Broxbourne) (Con)

Does my hon. Friend agree that when a national Government sanctions one Member of Parliament in this place, that national Government is actually sanctioning all Members of Parliament in this place, and that it is incumbent on us all—all 650 of us—to stand as one at this moment?

Ms Ghani 

My hon. Friend could not have put it more perfectly. I believe that sanctioning five MPs for raising human rights abuses was sanctioning this House and asking it to stop raising human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The whole House needs to act as one.
