<p>We consider freedom of religion or belief to be a fundamental human right and support
its protection and promotion around the world. We have concerns about restrictions
on freedom of religion or belief and the wider treatment of ethnic minorities in the
Tibetan Autonomous Region. I made clear a range of our concerns during a Westminster
Hall Debate on Tibet on 18 June. We continue to raise our related concerns in detail
with the Chinese authorities, for example during the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue.
We have highlighted a range of our concerns in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s
Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy (www.hrdreport.fco.gov.uk). We will continue
to raise our concerns as part of our wider relationship with China.</p>
