We continue to encourage China to make further progress in this respect, including by sharing best practice.</p><p>We most recently raised allegations of forced organ removal and the treatment of detainees in China at the UK China Human Rights Dialogue in May 2014. We also highlight our concerns publicly in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy (www.hrdreport.fco.gov.uk).</p> question first answered 27/11/2014 14:24:15
