Our Officials also press the Indonesian authorities to address legitimate human rights concerns. This includes upholding the right of all citizens to peacefully protest, and ensuring the sustainable and equitable development of the province through political dialogue.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 05/09/2019 14:33:26 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
