UPDATE 2-U.N. body, in rare move, rejects debate on China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims
news.yahoo.com
The U.N. rights council on Thursday rejected a Western-led motion to hold a debate about alleged human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang region after a U.N. report found possible crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Muslims. The U.N. rights office on Aug. 31 released a long-delayed report that found serious human rights violations had been committed in Xinjiang, in a move that has increased pressure on China.

Look at all these identical articles, many are Reuters sourced, but all of them are quite literally copy and paste the entire state department write ups that Im sure they were instructed to personalize first. Lazy fuckers lol

    why should we expect indonesia or morocco or wherever else to care? it's not like they have big uyghur populations and I don't expect germans to give much of a shit about christians in oman.

      Well Uzbekistan has the second most Uyghurs (after China), and Kazakhstan is also central Asia Muslim country, but they both voted no (not just abstain).

      They often vote to condemn Israeli treatment of Palestinians. So (if one believes Xinjiang is being ethnically cleansed), you'd think they'd vote to condemn China's treatment of Uyghurs.

      Since no Muslim countries are voting to condemn China, westerners need some explanation other than the simple explanation that the reports of abuse in XJ are greatly exaggerated.
