Six Chinese officials wanted for police questioning over the assault of a protester outside the nation’s consulate in Manchester would 'not be welcome back in the UK' after being withdrawn by Beijing, a foreign minister has said.
Violence erupted outside of the consulate, in Rusholme, south Manchester, on October 16 following a pro-democracy demonstration outside. Protester Bob Chan told a press conference he was 'dragged into the grounds of the consulate' before being 'kicked and punched'.
Greater Manchester Police issued an update on December 14 saying they were continuing to investigate the incident, with the force having 'liaised closely with the Home Office and other departments in Government throughout this investigation'.
