A United Nations human rights panel said on Friday that it had received many credible reports that 1 million ethnic Uighurs in China are held in what resembles a "massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy."Story here.
Gay McDougall, a member of the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, cited estimates that 2 million Uighurs and Muslim minorities were forced into "political camps for indoctrination" in the western Xinjiang autonomous region.
"We are deeply concerned at the many numerous and credible reports that we have received that in the name of combating religious extremism and maintaining social stability (China) has changed the Uighur autonomous region into something that resembles a massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy, a sort of ‘no rights zone’," she told the start of a two-day regular review of China’s record, including Hong Kong and Macao.
Wonder why Canada hasn't spoken about this? Ok, that was a terrible joke but the reality is that we're seeing a tremendous civil rights violation and the entire world is mute.
Kinda makes ya wonder don't it!
