The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed an emergency resolution Thursday condemning the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and urging China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas.

The resolution is fueled by widespread concern from the international community and highlights its continued concern about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.

        There was killing happening: by CIA-backed fundamentalist terrorist cells that went on knifing sprees, set off bombs, and ran over crowds with vehicles. The Chinese state didn’t intervene for no reason, and I’m sure the vast majority of local Uyghurs and Hans alike were happy to no longer be attacked by terrorists.

        Once you’ve seen enough “color revolutions”, you start to notice a pattern.

            You are super-duper convinced of the Cold War II propaganda we’re being fed 🤷 I’m sure the Chinese state has nothing better to do with their time and resources than kill their own Muslim population for fun and profit. That doesn’t sound cartoon villain-y at all.

                You’re clearly not about to undrink that Kool-Aid, so there’s no point.

                  You and I feel exactly the same about each other. However, I won’t have my family abducted for speaking the truth. Sorry for your situation, I know this is how you pay your bills. Job is a job.
