Worrying reports from Uighur women - content warning, extremely upsetting

“ In February 2019, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman defended camps, saying "China has the right to carry out anti-terrorism and de-extremisation work for its national security.]”

Do you mean this man??
The Arab leaderships don’t represent the people and have been imposed on them. And so have their policies.

I’m sure the Arab springs made that very clear.

Thank you for this list.

Quite stark how so many businesses and politicians are quiet over this. No flags, speeches and social media images proclaiming that Uighur lives matter.
Almost like corporations, political and celebrity elites will engage in moral outrage and posturing as long as it won't actually cost them anything.

@ginghamstarfish Why aren't the hugely wealthy Arab countries doing anything to help their fellow Muslims?

I read several months ago, that Uighar is considered the lowest, to the point of not being muslim at all, muslims.

Not read this as yet. Might steel myself for it in a bit but the comments here tell me how bad it is.

Will check out the links above of things to do that might help in some tiny way.

This is horrific.

Why do we as a world turn a blind eye? Is it politics? Economics? Morals?

Why aren't the hugely wealthy Arab countries doing anything to help their fellow Muslims? Not that they seem to do much for anyone else.

Thank you Cara and LetMeBubble for the link.

Thank you for the links pointing to other action to take.

Just horrific, those poor women. There is no excuse for the govt not to be bringing in sanctions. It's all happening in plain sight.

I'm not buying anything from China but realise it's only a drop in the Ocean.

Please God help them.

Horrifying and yet not surprising. Individually we can do little but we can write to MPs raising it with them, asking them what they are doing about our relations with a country committing genocide. We can contact companies with goods from China explaining why we will not buy from them. As far as possible we can look at what we're buying and avoid Chinese goods.

China rules the world.
Not the US
Not Saudi
Not the UN
Not EU

No one on Twitter gives a shit. It's complete radio silence on this, even from the many rad fems I follow

The UN has been covering up abuse, rape and human trafficking by its peace-keeping forces for years now. They don't give a shiny shit about women.

Yes, I've read "the Whistleblower" by Kathryn Bolkovac.

This is beyond hideous.

Twitter is a good platform for getting voices heard, but I'm quite a rookie. Anyone know if we share this story and tag the Chinese embassy in London if it would just get blocked?

UN is allegedly actively sharing the details of Uighur dissidents

This does not surprise me.

The UN has been covering up abuse, rape and human trafficking by its peace-keeping forces for years now. They don't give a shiny shit about women.

They are, however, very, very politicised, and cosying up to the CCP is the current in thing.

Right now no one. Just like the WHO held up information on Covid a lot of international bodies have been captured by the CCP who have installed leadership biased towards them. Outgoing US secretary of state Mike Pompeo did state that the CCP was guilty of Crimes against Humanity this year. New SOS Blinken has agreed with him, so fingers crossed but no nation will act before America.

That's appalling. Who can hold the UN to account?

LBC Presenter Maajid Nawaz has been shouting about this since last year he even went on Hunger Strike. He has been lobbying MPs but the problem is that too many of our political leaders have ties to the CCP and are afraid of angering China as we are too reliant on them to produce goods. Women are expendable so that we can buy cheap goods 😥.

People are lobbying for the UN to investigate, especially now DNA is being collected to identify the Uyghurs.

It's horrific. Why aren't the UN holding China to account?
