FCO Not Denying Magnitsky Sanctions On Chinese Individuals: The Sun

UK PRESS

Harry Cole at The Sun tweets: "FCO sources not denying magnitsky sanctions on Chinese officials re Uighurs today. Growing expectation in sw1. Officially no comment."

  • There is increasing pressure on the gov't from Conservative backbenchers and opposition to take a hard line against alleged human rights breaches in China, particularly in the wake of Beijing's actions in relation to Hong Kong.
  • Magnitsky sanctions under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill allow the gov't to freeze the assets of alleged human rights abusers in the UK.
  • Direct sanctions on Chinese officials' assets in the UK would mark another notable step away from closer Sino-UK relations, putting the UK firmly in the Sino-sceptic camp of international affairs alongside the US.
