Horrific new evidence of the system of organised rape and torture inside #Xinjiang camps. These widespread and deliberate acts not only constitute #CrimesAgainstHumanity , but further prove #UyghurGenocide . How much more evidence do we need, before governments start acting?

I am a Dutch citizen of Uyghur descent. My brother was taken away by the Chinese police in Aug 2017 in Kashgar, China. He is innocent, a good Chinese citizen. Until now I don't know where he is.His kids need him.I demand Chinese authorities in Kashgar to release my brother.

The lack of #HumanRightsClauses is serious as #China has only agreed to weak commitments & falls short of the demands. Ratification of the ILO-treaties is demanded without a time limit or sanctions. Thus, the #CCP has no reason to comply & we must acknowledge this realistically..
