Stop Uighur concentration camps in China

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The "re-education camps" set up in China are the biggest concentration camps set up since the Second World War, with over 1,000,000 Muslims and Christians held as prisoners in the Chinese region of Xingj Jiang, purely because of their faith. This brutal practice is a clear violation of Human Rights.
