The federal government condemned Beijing’s sanctions on two Canadian human rights groups and cautioned citizens in China about arbitrary law enforcement by the regime.

On Dec. 21, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced sanctions against two organizations—the Canada-Tibet Committee and the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project—along with 20 members affiliated with them. These individuals have been outspoken against the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of ethnic and religious minorities.
