Denounce muslim concentration camps in China, bring in appropriate sanctions

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The British government should become a leading foreign power in the denouncement of muslim concentration camps in China, this includes:
- Publicly denouncing what is happening
- Become a leading voice in international parliaments
- Issue appropriate sanctions and punishments
Looking back on world war 2 and nazi concentration camps, as a country and as individuals we agreed we would not sit by and let it happen again; however, this has the capacity to grow into a situation equally or more severe.
Muslims are being put in 're-education' centres to try and convert them. This is a clear breach of human rights and one can only imagine the rates of illness, death and neglect in these camps.
The government has a moral duty as a leading world power to make a difference
