What the petition asks
The Goverment needs to try to put more pressure on the Chinese government regarding the detention of ethnic Kazakhs in Xinjiang province. As well as the Uighurs, many Kazakhs have been detained and subjected to appalling treatment. I want the government to raise the issue of the treatment of Kazakhs
I want the UK government to open a dialogue with the Kazakh goverment about the treatment of Kazakh minorities in Xinjiang province. I also want them to question the Chinese government and pressure them on this matter whenever there are conferences or meetings between the UK and Chinese governments.
