PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Chinese Asylum-Seekers (4 June 1990)
Motion Details
That this House notes that the Home Office Immigration Service is attempting to return 33 Chinese political asylum-seekers from the United Kingdom even though there is evidence to suggest that Panama is at present not a safe country for Chinese asylum-seekers; and, remembering that the anniversary of the massacre of individuals involved in the democracy movement centred on Tiananmen Square fell on 4th June, calls upon Her Majesty's Government not to return this group to Panama but instead to permit them to come out of hiding and present their applications for asylum to the Home Office in the United Kingdom.
