Chinese delegation walk out of Chamber after Green MPs unfurl Tibetan flag

A Chinese delegation visiting the Czech lower house walked out in protest on Thursday after Green Party MPs unfurled a Tibetan flag. Green MP Kateřina Jacques said the Chamber of Deputies had passed a resolution in April saying its representatives should raise the subject of human rights during any contact with Chinese officials, and unfurling the flag was in line with that resolution. Some members of the opposition Social Democrats and Communists criticised the gesture.
