Washington DC [US], February 25 (ANI): Campaign for Uyghurs (CFU) has joined Chinese Human Rights Defenders and 24 other civil society organisations in urging Volker Turk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to use his February 27 speech before the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) to outline his office’s actions to examine alleged crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese government.
……
Sophie Richardson, Co-Executive Director of Chinese Human Rights Defenders, stated that High Commissioner Turk now has his own opportunity to act decisively and signal to Beijing that alleged atrocity crimes will be investigated.
She added that such action would also demonstrate to victims and survivors that they have not been overlooked, as cited in the CFU release. (ANI)
