About this Event

The launch event will be chaired by Baroness Hodgson of Abinger and speakers include: The Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP (former Leader of the Conservative Party), Nathan Law (exiled Hong Kong pro-democracy activist), Rahima Mahmut (Uyghur human rights campaigner), Simon Cheng (former British Consulate-General employee in Hong Kong who was jailed in China), Dr Teng Biao (Chinese human rights lawyer) and Benedict Rogers (Deputy Chair of the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission).

The report, which is the result of an extensive inquiry conducted by the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, covers the human rights situation throughout China, including the plight of the Uyghurs, Tibet, Hong Kong, violations of freedom of expression, freedom of religion or belief, arbitrary disappearances and detention, forced televised confessions, torture, slave labour, surveillance, abuses of the legal system, the repression of human rights defenders, violations of human rights under COVID-19 and China’s subversion of the United Nations and other multilateral fora and threats to the international rules-based order. It follows a major report in 2016 by the Commission, titled “The Darkest Moment: The Crackdown on Human Rights in China 2013-2016”, which is available on the Commission’s website https://conservativepartyhumanrightscommission.co.uk/
