British Parliament decides to debate atrocities against Uyghurs in China

London: The British Parliament has decided to debate on Monday the  atrocities against Uyghur Muslims in China, media reports said.

The debate has been scheduled as government plans to introduce “Magnitsky law”, a law that targets people who commit gross human rights violations, reports Republic.

Meanwhile, more than 150 parliamentarians have backed Jewish News’ call for the government to ratchet up the pressure on China over the plight of its Uyghur Muslims.

Together with Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani, and with the support of the World Uyghur Congress and human rights charity René Cassin, this newspaper wrote to MPs and peers last month urging them to push for sanctions and an independent investigation., reports Jewish News.


The Jewish News campaign coincides with the announcement of a parliamentary inquiry by the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) select committee, which will explore the extent to which UK businesses are exploiting the forced labour of Uyghur in the Xinjiang region of China, the newspaper reported.
