Tributes Pour in for Anna Lo, Northern Ireland’s First Chinese MP, Who Passes Away at 74
Anna Lo, the first Chinese parliamentarian in Western Europe and a pioneering figure in Northern Ireland politics, has died at 74.

Known for her commitment to equality and social justice, she faced significant racial challenges throughout her career. Her sons and political peers have celebrated her legacy as a devoted advocate for human rights, women’s rights, and a more inclusive society. Lo passed away following complications from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
