star this property answer text We remain concerned about reports of persecution of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others on the grounds of their religion or belief in China. The freedom to practise, change or share one’s faith or belief without discrimination or violent opposition is a fundamental human right that all people should enjoy. We believe that societies which aim to guarantee freedom of religion or belief are more stable, prosperous and more resilient against violent extremism. The UK last raised these issues with China at the UK/China Human Rights Dialogue in June 2017. more like this

star this property answer text <p>​While it can be difficult to compare the soft power generated by UK sport to other levers of soft power, from the UK's university sector to our democratic values, evidence from international polling consistently shows that sport is a significant soft power asset. For example, the 2017/18 Populus British Icon Index survey identified the Premier League as the single most effective UK brand.</p> more like this

We are aware of reported discussions between the detaining authorities in north-east Syria and the Iraqi authorities about possible transfer of Iraqi nationals for prosecution in Iraqi courts. We are not aware of any such discussions with the Syrian regime. Given the regime's appalling human rights record, we would not view prosecution by the Asad regime as an appropriate means of justice.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​We wish to see those who have fought for or supported Daesh in Iraq or Syria, whatever their nationality, brought to justice for their crimes in accordance with due legal process in the most appropriate jurisdiction. If a UK national returns from Syria, it is for the police and Crown Prosecution Service to decide if they should be prosecuted, which is a decision partly based on the available evidence. Individuals can be convicted in UK courts of offences committed overseas (including preparation of terrorism, encouragement of terrorism and membership of a proscribed organisation). However, for crimes committed in Daesh-held territory in Syria it can be extremely difficult to obtain evidence that would be admissible in a UK court.</p> more like this
