Enforce sanctions on China for its oppression of Uighur Muslims.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

China has adopted a regime based on the oppression of Uighur Muslims via “re-education camps”, however dubbing these concentration camps in postmodern society as ‘re-education camps’ would be an understatement.

The nation is undergoing the forced removal of children from their families to purpose built boarding schools, to essentially cleanse these children off their lineage.

Prosecuted individuals are having their organs harvested as part of this process of mass genocide and ethnic cleansing. Forced marriages between religions by the state have been documented. Forced consumption of alcohol and pork. Countless more human right breaches can be listed.

This petition aims to direct the UK government to begin sanctions against the Chinese state for this breach of human rights.
