The Government’s flawed and inconsistent approach to China and to human rights has never been more apparent than today: sanctioning officials responsible for persecuting the Uyghur in the afternoon and whipping MPs to vote against the genocide amendment in the evening.

“I grew up having my personal human rights being abused by Chinese government officials,” says Uyghur activist @JewherIlham. “Growing up I was put under house arrest multiple times along with my father… I had bugging devices in my apartment… We were followed everywhere.”

Tomorrow, Parliament will vote on the #GenocideAmendment again. If you haven't done so already, please email your MP and ask them to vote for it.

It's been 4 years since China started forcing Uyghur Muslims into concentration camps. Every month there is a new investigation. First assault was found, then forced sterilisation, now torture and systematic rape. It's a pattern. It's getting worse. It will continue to get worse.

The BBC has published some of the most horrifying evidence yet of the Chinese Communist Party’s mass atrocities against the Uyghurs, detailing a disgusting campaign of systematic rape and torture. nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-bb…

The BBC's video: Ghulzira Auyelkhan tells on camera how she, a female camp detainee, was given the job of handcuffing naked Uyghur girls to beds so that the Han men could go in and rape them. The men paid money to pick which girl they wanted to rape. fb.watch/3pD7Swn8AV/

This "study" says that the reduced birthrate among Uyghurs in China is solely from 'natural' changes. Does this sound natural to you?

The fate of the Uyghur people is directly tied to Britain through our global supply chains. We have no right to ignore this. We must act now.

Documents have been found that further confirm the use of forced minority slave labour for China's cotton. This must shake the world's fashion brands and governments and all people who believe in basic justice. This is not tolerable in the modern world. bbc.co.uk/news/extra/nz0…

Continuous, brutal atrocities left unspoken about by the world's governments are difficult territory for media organisations. They feel they can't just keep reporting 'this bad thing is happening'. Still hurts that BBC reports today of mass slavery will be forgotten within days

We cannot say enough times that UK is not taking strong enough action. @MahmutRahima is right that the UK must move forward with sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party. The government has all the evidence, all they need to do is take a stand against genocide.

The first article on PPE being made using Uyghur slave labour came out months ago from the NYT. It is completely unacceptable that the government is not just ignoring Uyghurs’ human rights but contributing to their exploitation as well. bylinetimes.com/2020/11/05/uk-…
