BREAKING: Report finds crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.

A new report from @hrw finds the Chinese government has committed — and continues to commit — Crimes Against Humanity against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim groups.

Key findings below [THREAD]

hrw.org/report/2021/04… [1] Enslavement

The forced labour of Turkic Muslims arbitrarily detained in political education facilities, as well as the automatic, involuntary transfer of “graduated” detainees to adjacent factories, amounts to the crime of enslavement.

#BREAKING Matt Pottinger, Deputy @WHNSC Advisor tells European #IPAC Co-chairs:

“Leaders in both U.S. political parties and across the U.S. government are perplexed and stunned that the EU is moving towards a new investment treaty right on the eve of a new U.S. administration.” “There is nowhere for bureaucrats in Brussels or Europe to hide. We can no longer kid ourselves that Beijing is on the verge of honouring labour rights, while it continues to build millions of square feet of factories for forced labour in Xinjiang.”
