Xinjiang, the repression camps Under the pretence of fighting terrorism, Muslim minorities are the victims of targeted oppression in Xinjiang. Overwhelming evidence of mass detentions, forced labour and persecution has been documented by the United Nations. The harrowing testimonies of survivors of Chinese “re-education camps” highlight this extensive State brutality.
Yet Western companies benefit from the forced labour of Uyghurs, demonstrating economic complicity. In view of these serious violations of human rights, what can the international community do to put an end to these abuses and guarantee the protection of the fundamental rights of these people? The need for a collective and resolute response to put pressure on China clashes with the major geopolitical issues at stake.
