MPs URGE TOUGHER UK ACTION ON CHINA

Senior Conservative MPs are calling for a 'reset' in UK policy on China because of human rights abuses.

The Conservative Human Rights Commission says the UK must work with allies to respond to China more firmly with sanctions.

It comes after the UK unveiled a series of business measures over Beijing's treatment of Uighur muslims in Xinjiang province.

Rahima Mahmut is UK project director for the World Uighur Congress - she says London needs to go further.

INTRO: "It's strong...
OUTRO: ....sanction."
