2023年8月7日，中国民主党英国总部等多个人权团体到老挝驻英国大使馆抗议示威，要求老挝政府立即释放在当地被带走、面临强制遣返的中国人权律师卢思位。
卢思位7月28日在老挝前往泰国途中遭到逮捕引发国际人权组织以及关注中国人权团体的强烈反响，卢思位原本计划经老挝到泰国，前往美国与家人团聚。卢思位曾多次代理政治异见人士案件，包括2020 年代理“12港人”案件。2021年，卢思位被指网路言论“涉嫌危害国家安全”，其律师资格被撤销，其后更被袭击及禁止出境。
老挝驻英国大使馆派员接收由85个人权组织联署的信件。示威者们在老挝大使馆前高呼口号“FREE LU SIWEI”，表达诉求。参加示威活动的中国民主党英国总部的党员表示：老挝政府不应该成为中国政府的帮凶。我们呼吁敦促老挝政府，遵守国际法，根据国际人权义务，立即中止遣返卢思位律师的一切程序并释放他。老挝政府是联合国【禁止酷刑公约】缔约国，有义务不将任何人遣返至他极有可能遭受酷刑的国家。

Human Rights Groups Protest, Demanding the Release of Human Rights Lawyer Lu Siwei
On August 7, 2023, several human rights groups, including the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party, protested in front of the Laotian Embassy in the UK, demanding the immediate release of Chinese human rights lawyer Lu Siwei, who had been taken away and faced forced repatriation in Laos.
Lu Siwei was arrested in Laos on July 28 while en route to Thailand, which sparked strong reactions from international human rights organizations and groups concerned with Chinese human rights. Lu Siwei had originally planned to travel through Laos to reunite with his family in the United States via Thailand. He had represented cases of political dissidents, including the “12 Hong Kongers” case in 2020. In 2021, Lu Siwei was accused of making online statements “endangering national security,” leading to the revocation of his lawyer’s license. He was subsequently attacked and banned from leaving the country.
Representatives from the Laotian Embassy in the UK received a letter signed by 85 human rights organizations. Demonstrators outside the Laotian Embassy chanted slogans like “FREE LU SIWEI” to express their demands. Members of the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party who participated in the protest stated that the Laotian government should not become an accomplice to the Chinese government. They urged the Laotian government to abide by international law, fulfill international human rights obligations, immediately halt all procedures related to repatriating lawyer Lu Siwei, and release him. Laos is a signatory to the United Nations Convention against Torture and has an obligation not to deport anyone to a country where they may be at risk of torture.
