As I have said, Canada should issue a public statement. This is not a human rights issue. This is beyond the scope of a human rights issue. Some scholars call it ethnic genocide. Some call it cultural genocide. Some call it collective punishment. Some call it a crime against humanity. It is not a human rights issue that we can talk about behind closed doors. A generic or general statement does not work. We have to call it whatever it is, with a name that fits the action. The United States has called it a concentration camp twice at the United Nations, as have others. The U.S. Congress did too.
As for Canada, our representative mentioned the situation twice at the United Nations. The first time was a disaster. Basically, our representative mentioned “thousands of Uighurs”. It's not “thousands”. There is a three-zero difference between “millions” and “thousands”. Just one concentration camp contains more than 8,000 people, and we have more than 250 concentration camps. We shouldn't shy away from calling it whatever it is and issuing a public statement, just like the European Union, the United Nations and the U.S.
