OTTAWA—Green Leader Annamie Paul says Canada should support moving the 2022 Olympics outside China, citing Beijing’s “genocidal campaign” against the Uighur Muslim minority.

Paul says the International Olympic Committee, along with Canada and other countries that condemn human rights violations in China, should find another venue.
