Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to be tabling two petitions in the House today. The first petition highlights the horrific abuses of fundamental human rights of Uighurs and other Turkic Muslims in China.
It points to a growing body of evidence suggesting the intentional suppression of births within the Uighur community, through methods such as forced sterilization, forced insertion of IUDs and forced abortion.
The petitioners call on the House to formally recognize the Uighurs in China have been and are being subject to genocide, and to use the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, the Magnitsky law, and sanction those who are responsible for these heinous crimes being committed against the Uighur people.
