What the petition asks
We call on the UK government to support Taiwan's membership of the WHO to aid the fight against Coronavirus. Taiwan's exclusion from this body risks not only the health of the people of Taiwan, but of the international community as a whole, including Britain.
Taiwan Wants to Help Fight the Coronavirus. WHO Won’t Let It.
