A Catholic woman was thrown out of a council meeting after she accused local politicians of having blood on their hands over a multi-million pound development deal with a Chinese-owned company.
Maureen O’Bern was escorted from the public gallery of Wigan Town Hall after she interjected in a planning committee debate to complain about the persecution of Uyghur Muslims by the Chinese state.
She held up images of Uyghurs in Chinese detention camps and told councillors they should not support a £135 million deal with Beijing Construction Engineering Group International (BCEGI) UK to redevelop the town centre.
