Back human rights during China trip, McConnell urged

Sunday Herald

Tommy Sheridan, the Scottish Socialist leader, blasted McConnell for not sending out a clear message to Chinese authorities, adding: “It is an outrage that the promotion of human rights is not central to the trip . It would be a disgrace if the man who is supposed to be Scotland’s leader goes to China just to do the bidding of big business.”
