Xinjiang genocide conference aims to up pressure on China

Associated Press  

LONDON — Leading scholars and lawyers are joining politicians and human rights groups in Britain Wednesday for the first large-scale conference to discuss the Chinese government’s alleged genocide against the Uyghur ethnic group in the northwest Xinjiang region. Speakers will cover evidence of alleged atrocities targeting the Uyghurs, including forced labor, forced birth control and religious suppression, and discuss ways to compel international action to stop the alleged abuse. We are really trying to refocus on what can we do to make this stop.” Academic Adrian Zenz, whose research on forced sterilizations among Uyghur women drew widespread attention to the issue, will present official documents backing claims that Beijing wants to forcibly reduce the Uyghur population, Finley said. Chinese authorities have been accused of imposing forced labor, systematic forced birth contro l and torture, erasing the Uyghurs’ cultural and religious identity, and separating children from incarcerated parents.
