Mr. Speaker, the situation facing China's religious minorities is not improving either.
Tibetan Buddhists engaged in a peaceful struggle for autonomy within the framework of the Chinese constitution are denied many of their basic human rights. Many Uighur Muslims will likely be denied the right to fast during Ramadan this year. Falun Gong practitioners and Christians also face denial of their basic rights.
Were any of these specific issues raised during the foreign minister's visit to Canada?
