China’s treatment of Uighurs amounts to “genocide,” parliamentary subcommittee concludes
The House of Commons subcommittee on international human rights had its conclusion after hearing two days of testimony from witness that include “survivors of the government of China’s atrocities” in the region.
The subcommittee said that nearly two millions Uighurs and other Turkic Muslims were being detained and witnesses noted that this was the largest mass detention of a minority community since the Holocaust.
They also called on the federal government to recognize China’s actions in the region as genocide and to implement so-called Magnitsky legislation against officials responsible.
