Treatment Of The Actress Tang Wei

EDM number 1367 in 2007-08, proposed by Janet Anderson on 21/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Broadcasting, Human rights and Media.

That this House is concerned at the treatment of Tang Wei, the successful Chinese actress and star of the award-winning film Lust, Caution directed by Ang Lee; is alarmed by reports that she has effectively been blacklisted by China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television; understands that the broadcast of advertisements featuring Tang Wei have been halted and access to internet references to her have been removed within China; believes she may be made a scapegoat for involvement in a film that is viewed unfavourably by the Chinese authorities; and calls on the UK Government to make representations in support of artistic freedom for Tang Wei and all Chinese citizens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
