Amid the news that I and other parliamentarians, an academic and a QC have been sanctioned by the Chinese government, we must not lose sight of the true victims of China’s tyranny – the Muslim Uighur people and other religious and ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR).
Each story emerging from this region is more horrifying than the last.
President Xi has authorised the construction of a vast network of modern-day concentration camps. This follows reports of mass internment, forced sterilisation, an 85 per cent decline in population size and a state-sponsored programme for the export of goods produced by slave labour.

Victoria Song, the Chinese leader of K-pop girl band, f(x), has ended her contract with the group s agency SM Entertainment.
After local media outlet, the Korea Economic Daily, reported the news Friday, SM confirmed it without revealing details. Before Song, other members, including Krystal, had left the company. But it did not officially announce the group s dissolution.
A diplomatic storm has erupted in Turkey after two politicians criticised China s treatment of its Muslim Uighur community.
Uighurs are a Muslim and Turkic-speaking minority native to the Xinjiang region in northwest China.
Several NGOs and countries have accused China of persecuting Uighurs, subjecting them to various abuses in camps.
Beijing rejects these accusations and maintains the camps are professional training centres against extremism.
Meral Aksener, chairwoman of Turkey s opposition IVI party, and Ankara mayor Mansur Yavas, from the opposition CHP party, joined in the criticism.
Their posts on Twitter made reference to the killing of Uighurs by Chinese forces during an uprising in Baren district in April 1990, describing the events as a massacre .

Faced with accusations that it was profiting from the forced labour of Uyghur people in the Chinese territory of Xinjiang, the H&M Group the world’s second-largest clothing retailer promised last year to stop buying cotton from the region.
But last month, H&M confronted a new outcry, this time from Chinese consumers who seized on the company’s renouncement of the cotton as an attack on China. Social media filled with angry demands for a boycott, urged on by the government. Global brands like H&M risked alienating a country of 1.4 billion people.
