2023年5月7日下午，伦敦中国驻英国大使馆前，由英国南蒙古人团体发起的，中国民主党英国总部共同参与了一次示威抗议活动，表达了对中国政府对南蒙古地区以及中国大陆异见人士的镇压和迫害的不满和愤慨。中国民主党英国总部强烈要求中共政府立即释放中国民主党党员王炳章、秦永敏、陈树庆、吕耿松。
抗议活动于下午5点开始，当时，几十位南蒙古人团体和中国民主党英国总部成员手持标语和横幅，站在中国驻伦敦大使馆门前，高呼：Free Southern Mongolia, Save the Mongolia Language, Free Tibet, Free HongKong, Free East Turkestan, Free China 等口号，呼吁中国政府尊重南蒙古地区居民的基本权利，停止对南蒙古地区和中国大陆异见人士的的镇压和迫害。
据了解，近年来，中国政府在南蒙古地区加强了对藏族、蒙古族等少数民族的压制和打压，在整个中国大陆地区不断的迫害异见人士和维权人士，据悉，从2023年9月开始中国政府将在整个南蒙古地区全面禁止蒙古语教学，取消蒙古语教学和抹杀蒙古文化，严重侵犯南蒙古居民的基本权利。同时中国民主党英国总部强烈谴责中国政府对中国大陆异见人士的迫害，特别是这次中国著名人权活动人士丁家喜和许志永被控“颠覆国家政权”罪遭判重刑，凸显在习近平的统治下，中国社会的言论空间已不复存在。此次抗议活动旨在引起国际社会的关注，促使中国政府尊重少数民族的权利和自由，保障南蒙古地区居民的基本人权，呼吁国际社会关注中国社会的人权状况。
在中国大使馆前参加此次抗议活动的党员有：王冠儒、蒋玉山、谌彬、林丽君、余刚、廖柳燕、顾晓锋、王兵艳、靳雪涔、黄华等

Release Political Prisoners Wang Bingzhang, Qin Yongmin, Chen Shuqing, and Lü Gengsong: Protest by the UK Headquarters of China Democratic Party
On the afternoon of May 7, 2023, a demonstration protest was held in front of the Chinese Embassy in London, organized by the Southern Mongolian group in the UK and jointly participated in by the UK Headquarters of the China Democratic Party. The protest aimed to express dissatisfaction and outrage at the Chinese government’s repression and persecution of the Southern Mongolian region and dissidents in mainland China. The UK Headquarters of the China Democratic Party strongly demanded the immediate release of party members Wang Bingzhang, Qin Yongmin, Chen Shuqing, and Lü Gengsong.
The protest began at 5 p.m., with dozens of members from the Southern Mongolian group and the UK Headquarters of the China Democratic Party holding banners and signs in front of the Chinese Embassy in London. They chanted slogans such as “Free Southern Mongolia, Save the Mongolian Language, Free Tibet, Free Hong Kong, Free East Turkestan, Free China,” calling on the Chinese government to respect the basic rights of residents in the Southern Mongolian region and to halt the repression and persecution of dissidents in the region and mainland China.
It is understood that in recent years, the Chinese government has intensified its suppression and crackdown on ethnic minorities such as Tibetans and Mongolians in the Southern Mongolian region. Throughout mainland China, dissenters and human rights activists have faced continuous persecution. It has been reported that starting in September 2023, the Chinese government plans to completely ban Mongolian language teaching in the entire Southern Mongolian region, erasing Mongolian language education and culture, which constitutes a severe violation of the basic rights of Southern Mongolian residents. The UK Headquarters of the China Democratic Party strongly condemned the persecution of dissidents in mainland China, particularly highlighting the severe sentences imposed on prominent human rights activists Ding Jiaxi and Xu Zhiyong, who were charged with “subversion of state power.” This underscores the absence of free expression in Chinese society under the rule of Xi Jinping. The purpose of this protest was to draw international attention and urge the Chinese government to respect the rights and freedoms of ethnic minorities, protect the basic human rights of residents in the Southern Mongolian region, and call on the international community to pay attention to the human rights situation in Chinese society.
Party members who participated in this protest in front of the Chinese Embassy included Wang Guanru, Jiang Yushan, Chen Bin, Lin Lijun, Yu Gang, Liao Liuyan, Gu Xiaofeng, Wang Bingyan, Jin Xuecen, Huang Hua, and others.
