"Mr President, I am proud to support democracy and highlight different global human rights issues, from championing Roma, Gypsy and traveller rights to nominating Somaliland’s Edna Adan for last year’s Sakharov Prize for her work supporting women’s rights and tackling female genital mutilation in the Horn of Africa. Yesterday I met with Falun Gong practitioners and I would urge colleagues to join me in signing written declaration 48 of 2016 on stopping organ-harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China.
Last week I was dismayed that Chagos Islanders were denied the right of return to their homelands by the British Supreme Court. Following the Brexit vote I can think of no better way to mark my country’s return to an independent and globally engaged nation than to rectify this shameful episode in our recent history by allowing Chagossians the right to return to their homeland, should they so desire. Her Majesty’s Government must seize this opportunity to reaffirm our support for global human rights and democratic principles by setting a better example in a British Indian Ocean Territory."@en1
