abc.net.au/news/sanctions-chinese-officials-human-rights-abuse-xinjiang-uyghur/101694754The Coalition has ramped up its calls for the government to sanction Chinese officials over human rights abuses in Xinjiang after the foreign minister declined to meet prominent Uyghur advocates in Canberra.The activists met with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham
The president of the World Uyghur Congress, Dolkun Isa, said while he appreciated Australia's work to increase pressure on China in international organisations over human rights abuses in Xinjiang, Australia was yet to take any concrete steps against officials responsible for the torture and repression of Uyghurs.
Anthony Albanese is the first Australian prime minister to hold formal talks with Xi Jinping since 2016.
There are 1600 Uyghur People in Australia, and they are not Oppressed, so what percentage is this of the Australian People, and they tell us to make an Enemy of China, I have seen reports on Youtube, that prove just the Opposite, are Indigenous People Oppressed in Australia !!!
Bruhh you think Albo is going to do that 😂😂😂 or Penny Wong 😂😂 dreaming guys absolutely dreaming
By refusing to meet with Uyghur leaders Penny Wong is sending a clear message to Beijing that her and Albo tacitly support the Uyghur genocide.
Little to do with human rights…it’s just a political game…
Don't beridiculous.According to some shameless media reports, it is cultural genocide for women in Xinjiang not to wear headscarves, it is imprisoned and oppressed for women in Iran to wear headscarves, and it is a cultural tradition for women in Saudi Arabia to wear headscarves.
The Coalition wins the 'Hypocrite of the Year' award!
Penny Wong did the right thing. There is no use irking China when Australia-China relation is improving. Opposition are hypocrite. Look in your backyard. Non whites being discriminated everyday in Australia.
The whole Uyghur nonsense has been proven to be lies. Makes sense the whack jobs from the coalition would believe it.
Come on guys, this has been disproven many times. Uyghurs live a much more prosperous and culturally inclusive life than any indigenous people in western countries for example.
Will the Coalition accept sanctions against Australian officials for the oppression and ongoing exclusion of First Nations from Australia’s Constitution as a human rights violation? Some balance, .
Why didn't the coalition do it during there 10 years in power?
Now they do..
