What the petition asks
Uyghur Muslims are currently facing severe human rights abuses at the hands of the Chinese government. Up to 3 million Uyghurs are currently in 'Re-education Camps', with reports suggesting they face torture, rape and murder.
MPs from across the House have put forward an EDM to automatically grant Uyghurs refugee status, with bi-partisan support. This could save lives.
