unstar this property answer text <p>Since the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights' statement on 11 September, our Ambassador has raised the situation in Rakhine with Burmese Ministers and has set out our concerns about the violence, the large scale displacement of civilians, and the need for improved humanitarian access. The Foreign Secretary had earlier spoken to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on 7 September in similar terms and to underline the need for any allegations of human rights abuses to be investigated. Subsequently, at his press conference on 14 September, the Foreign Secretary described the situation in Rakhine as an “abomination”, and urged the displaced Rohingya to be allowed back and for the abuse of their human rights and killings to stop.</p> more like this

We also continue to raise the case with the Indian authorities at all levels, asking that they do all they can to bring the case to a speedy conclusion, bearing in mind the impact on the six men and their families.</p><p>This is an ongoing legal process and we cannot interfere in the Indian legal system, just as we would not allow another country to interfere in an ongoing court case in the United Kingdom.</p><p>We have a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with India but before arrangements can be made regarding Mr Irving's transfer to Scotland, all legal proceedings must be complete and all bail and appeal applications would need to be withdrawn. This is a matter for Mr Irving.</p><p>While we await a verdict in the judicial proceedings, our focus continues to be on the men's welfare and the support we can provide to their families.</p><p> </p>

I made clear the UK's strong commitment to the Sino-British Joint Declaration: a recognition that it remains a legally binding treaty until 2047, is registered with the UN and continues to be in force. The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), also discussed Hong Kong issues at a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on 16 February 2017. To mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Foreign Secretary issued a Written Ministerial Statement to the House on 29 June <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statements/" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statements/</a></p> more like this

For example, during the most recent UK-China Human Rights Dialogue on 27 June, we urged the Chinese to ensure Nobel Prize winner Liu Xiaobo had access to his choice of medical treatment.</p> more like this

I made clear the British Government's commitment to the Joint Declaration on Hong Kong, which is a formal Treaty between China and the UK. This declaration, registered with the UN, remains in force until July 2047. As a consequence, I did not accept the Chinese government's position that this was purely an historical document. Furthermore, as a guarantor of the Joint Declaration, the British Government also regards it as legitimate that it continues to issue a six-monthly report to the House on Hong Kong affairs.</p><p>To mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Foreign Secretary issued a Written Ministerial Statement to the House on 29 June (<a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statements/" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statements/</a>).</p>
