Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for that information and for undertaking to provide an update on those specific numbers. You said that you will take any opportunity you can to reinforce the concerns. Can the minister indicate whether the Prime Minister will be specifically reinforcing those concerns when he visits and meets with President Hu Jintao in the next couple of weeks? Can the minister also advise the Senate whether, as reported, it is the case that protestors against the government in Tibet can be executed for that offence?
