A joint statement by “50 countries” from around the world condemning Chinese violations against Uyghur Muslims
“50 countries” signed a joint statement condemning the gross and systematic violations of human rights against the Uyghur Muslim community in China’s Xinjiang province, which was reviewed at a United Nations forum.
‘Sindu News Agency’ said, in a report translated by Shia Waves Agency): “The countries that signed the statement expressed their concern about the deteriorating conditions of Uyghur Muslims and the violation of their rights by China.”
Last August, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report on the long-awaited crisis in Xinjiang.
The report concluded that there were crimes against humanity for the Muslim Uyghur minority in Xinjiang, which Beijing rejected.
“Such gross and systematic violations of human rights cannot be justified on the basis of counter-terrorism. Given the severity of the OHCHR’s assessment, we are concerned that China has so far refused to discuss its findings,” the statement said.
For its part, Human Rights Watch called on the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday to intervene and discuss the dire conditions of Muslims in China.
The press report revealed a list of (50 countries) except Indonesia, which condemned human rights violations against the Muslim Uyghurs, which included (Albania, Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Eswatini, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Montenegro, Nauru, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Palau, Poland , Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Somalia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada).
