Commons to vote on declaration of genocide in Xinjiang province
Organisers seek backing of two-thirds of MPs for all-party motion citing China’s treatment of Uyghurs
The House of Commons is to be given a chance to vote to declare that a genocide is under way in Xinjiang province in China, in a move likely to damage Sino-British relations.
The organisers hope that at least two-thirds of MPs will vote on 22 April to back the all-party motion in a declaration of intent against China for its treatment of the Uyghur Muslims.
