London Summit on freedom of religion or belief- today we held a very successful meeting on the importance of detecting the beginnings of Genocide – and the failure of the U.K. Government to put in place adequate mechanisms to prevent Genocides from happening over and over again.

Uyghurs: During a protest in Parliament Square marking the FoRB Ministerial I called for tougher action and sanctions against those responsible for the Uyghur Genocide.
