<p>We remain deeply concerned by and condemn all restrictions placed on freedom of
religion or belief in China, including on practitioners of Falun Gong. At the UK/China
Human Rights dialogue on 27 June 2017 we discussed our concerns about restrictions
placed on Falun Gong practitioners with the Chinese authorities. Furthermore, at the
UN Human Rights Council in Geneva in June 2017, the UK's statement highlighted our
concerns about restrictions placed on religious freedoms in China.</p><p>The UK is
concerned by any allegations that involuntary organ removal is taking place in China,
and suggestions that minority and religious groups are being specifically targeted.
However, it is our analysis that the evidence available to us, at this time, does
not substantiate claims of systemic organ harvesting in China. We have raised this
issue directly with the Chinese authorities and my officials continue to scrutinise
new evidence on this issue.</p>
