UK raises Uygar muslims in China issue at UN

Britain's government on Friday appealed to the United Nations to interrupt in human rights violations of Uygar Muslims in China.

The British government said that 'China's policies against Uygar Muslims are a matter of grave concern' in the region.

Foreign Office Minister of South Asia and Commonwealth Tariq Ahmed said in a statement that there has been evidence of Violation Human Rights in Xinjiang. On the Hong Kong issue, Ahmed said that this is a direct threat.

He said, “Pressures are being made on media freedom in the country from all four sides which are a matter of grave concern. We ask China to uphold rights and freedoms in the joint declaration. Respecting the independence of the Hong Kong judiciary released all those who were arbitrarily detained in Xinjiang. "

Ahmad said, there is strong proof in Xinjiang province that human rights are being violated. This has been revealed in the documents of the Chinese authorities themselves.

He said, culture and religion are severely restricted in the region and we have seen reliable reports of forced labor and forced birth control. The surprising thing is that 18 lakh people have been detained without trial here. Ahmed said, "We are also seriously concerned about the freedom of media across the country."

He added: “Across the country, we also remain seriously concerned about the pressure on media freedom… (We) call on China to uphold the rights and freedoms in the Joint Declaration, to respect the independence of the Hong Kong judiciary, allow unfettered access to Xinjiang and to release all those who are arbitrarily detained ”.

“The National Security Law is being implemented with the apparent intention to eliminate dissent. It allows prosecution of certain cases in mainland China, a jurisdiction where defendants are often held for long periods without charge or access to legal counsel, and where we have concerns about judicial independence, due process, and reports of torture ”, he told the council .
