EU condemns China for human rights violations against Uyghurs
The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed an emergency resolution Thursday condemning the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghurs and urging China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas.
The resolution is fueled by widespread concern from the international community and highlights its continued concern about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.

Don’t let Lemmygrad see this article. They’ll ban the European Parliament.
They’ll just change the topic and drown you in whataboutisms, logical fallacies, and availability heuristics.
I mentioned it around them once, responses claimed it either never happened it happened but briefly and was ended.
Genocide denialism - it's okay when everybody does it!
Genocide denial is okay when it's done by a country claiming to be communist
There was no genocide.
There were mass detentions where people would be picked up for minor crimes and sent for job training, according to Wapo, at least some of them were closed/repurposed before 2022, presumably in 2020.
There is plenty of room to criticize sending someone for 6+ months of trade school because they didn't have a job and got caught doing some incredibly minor crime and analyze what China has done in the past and why they did this, but libs can't have that conversation when they're invested in a crazy conspiracy theory.
It's not genocide if the communis... the dictatorshi... the ... Fuck your banned!
ml, hexbear & lemmygrad probably.
Some ml guy had a copy/pasta with about five links from obscure news sites describing how there was no genocide in China. And how inclusive it was towards religions...
Rofl
Inclusive asong as you remove any ideological symbols and replace them with pictures of Winny the pooh
Yup
The article references 2017 and 2018. Did something happen recently?
Nope. Nothing at all happening lately, that's why Gedaliyah, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan, is posting 7 year old news about a great power accused of genocide against its Muslim population.
Support.
But isn't there a better source for this than VOA? I don't trust VOA for news about China like I don't trust RT for news about USA. Etc. It's strange how many people post state propaganda as if it's honest news.

Happy that they are doing at least something; sad as i know that they don't really care about the Uyghurs but just about the f*ing tarrif war.
Some of the most Islamophobic countries in the world are condemning China's treatment of Muslims? I wonder how Islamic countries feel about it.
Wow an ML accepting china’s treatment of Muslims? You must be new… you’re not allowed to do that.
I am not accepting China's claims, I am accepting predominantly Muslim country's judgements on how Muslims are being treated in China over the countries that are either currently imperializing Islamic countries or are just incredibly islamophobic for no reason, like Poland.
Here's a map from Nov of 2019. A similar UN resolution passed about a month ago with similar support.
So to be clear, you accept that china is killing Muslims right? Don’t worry, your family won’t be sent to a reeducation camp.
If it was happening, Muslim majority countries might give a shit.
Europe does not and would not give a shit about the killing of Muslims.
Did you even check to see if they did?
No. No you did not.

I literally linked a map from a 2019 UN joint resolution, showing mostly Muslim-majority countries, including Jordan, that agree that there is no genocide in China.
Both Qatar and Jordan are American puppets, evidenced most recently by Jordan helping Israel carry out its genocide by shooting down Iranian drones.
I mean so are several other countries on that map, it's egregious enough that Saudi Arabia broke with America on this.
Your words:
Are Jordan and Qatar majority Muslim countries? Because I'm pretty sure they are.
Pretty sure they give a shit. Just because you can’t access that news doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, Wumao.
Half of Europe is doing neocolonialism across Africa, Poland just stopped processing asylum seekers and made it easier to shoot migrants in "self defense".
Half of europe has banned clothing they associate with Muslims.
The only people euros hate more than Muslims are Roma.
So, are you trying to deflect from the fact that china is slaughtering Muslims too?
I'm guessing they feel like it's about time those countries were on their side for a change.
Of course, some of them are fine with it.
