Letter to Sir Iain DUNCAN SMITH, UK Member of Parliament on the occasion of Chinese sanctions on UK Parliamentarians and citizens for their actions for human rights in China (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56532569

Dear Sir

I support your effort to advocate on behalf of the Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers and all other persecuted groups in China. I therefore reject the sanctions from the Chinese Government on you and other United Kingdom Parliamentarians and Citizens.

I would like to bring your attention to our current Petition to remove China from the United Nations Security Council permanent members: https://www.change.org/p/general-secretary-of-the-united-nations-and-world-leaders-remove-china-from-un-security-council-permanent-members

The Petition has won more than 45,000 signatures from people around the world. You can find in this link the list and number of signatories per country: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hZvNDfJuT9CRW9e3CvwgBicsDSy1yYt4?usp=sharing

We write in the Petition:

“Since many years China has violated the United Nations’ Purposes and Principles as shown in the very first lines of the UN Charter:

“to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person”: by imposing during many years an authoritarian regime in China, by invading Tibet, Xinjiang and inflicting on the inhabitants there an inhuman, culture and ethnic cleansing regime.”

We will be very happy if you could join us in this call for the removal of China from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

We are ready to provide you with more information.

Yours faithfully

Dr Trung-Tinh LE
