Uighur leaders warn China’s actions could be ‘precursors to genocide’
Campaign group urges foreign governments to halt ‘business as usual’ relations with Beijing until action is taken
Uighur leaders have called on democratic governments to confront China over its treatment of ethnic minority Uighur Muslims, saying the government’s actions against the ethnic minority group are “precursors to genocide”.
On a visit to Australia, leaders of the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), based in Washington, said governments, businesses, academics and thinktanks all had a responsibility to stop “business as usual” relations with China.
