China’s atrocity crimes demand a worldwide response. Uyghurs thank Canada for this historic vote. We are now in the 5th year of unimaginable hell.
The Canadian House of Commons has recognized China's treatment of Uyghurs as genocide.
The motion is non-binding & doesn't specify steps the Government must take, but represents a significant first step.

How, exactly is
@HillelNeuer
"abusing human rights" when standing up in the face of human rights abuses? Is speaking the truth abusing the human rights of the Chinese representative? Is this the world that the CCP wants us to live in?
China lashed out at me at the United Nations today for "abusing human rights" after I asked why a regime that locks up 1 million Muslims, and crushed those who tried to sound the alarm of the Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, was put on the UN panel that vets human rights monitors.

It is especially horrifying to see some of the specific countries that have chosen complicity in genocide.
#Uzbekistan
&
#Kazakhstan
have betrayed their ethnic & religious brothers and sisters.

At the
#HumanRightsDay
rally alongside a diverse coalition of allies I asked: How can we trust a regime that has taken an entire ethno-religious group as enemies of the brutal
#Chinese
state? That rather than learning from the worst moments in history, seeks to replicate them?

Uyghurs around the globe have been testifying for two years about the agony of their families back home. The Chinese government claimed they were lying. Now one official has risked his freedom and maybe his life to prove that the Uyghur nightmare is real.

Last year, 23 countries condemned Chinese atrocities against Uyghur people. This year the number of countries almost doubled , which shows the coalition denouncing China's atrocities is growing.
The U.S. joins 38
@UN
Member States to express grave concern about China's appalling human rights conduct. The situation in Xinjiang & recent developments in Hong Kong make clear that the PRC has outright contempt for its human rights obligations & the well-being of its citizens.

Malaysia's Parliament raises the Uyghur issue. MP
@niknazmi
says the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation should speak up. He notes research by Dr.
@adrianzenz
and points out that China has not revealed how many Uyghurs are detained, their location, or their status.
