UK ministers have been urged to stop “abdicating their legal and moral duties” and act after a tribunal found evidence “beyond reasonable doubt” of torture, crimes against humanity, and genocide in China’s Xinjiang region.
In a renewed effort to pressure the government to recognise the genocide, the UK Parliament unanimously passed a motion on Jan. 20 calling for an urgent assessment and sanctions against the perpetrators.
