Mr. Speaker, the third petition addresses the plight of Uighurs in eastern China and the persecution they face from the Communist regime in Beijing.
The petitioners are calling on the House to do two things: first, formally recognize that Uighurs in Canada have been and are being subject to genocide and, second, use the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, also called the Magnitsky act, to sanction those who are responsible for the heinous crimes against Uighurs.
