Human rights organization held Chinese President responsible for atrocities on Uighur children




Sweden-based Uyghur rights organisation Svenska Uyghur Komitet (SUK), commonly known as the Swedish Uyghur Committee, in a statement released on Sunday called on China and its President Xi Jinping to end humanitarian abuses against children in East Turkistan.

Statement by SUK The Chinese President lamented that Xi Jinping can show sympathy and empathy for the children of mainland China. But, the same has not been done for the more than one million Uighur children who have been abducted and separated from their families by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“Instead of these innocent Uighur children growing up in the safety and love of their homes, they are subjected to a programme of relentless indoctrination, organ harvesting, torture, starvation, executions and forced labour. Their childhood is robbed and their identity is systematically erased. This is a sad and heartbreaking reality that is just one part of the widespread genocide being perpetrated under China’s permanent occupation and colonisation of East Turkistan,” the statement said.

“Xi Jinping is not only responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Uighur children; he/she is also systematically eliminating millions of unborn Uighur children through the forced sterilization of millions of Uighur women. This horrific strategy is not only a violation of human rights, it is a deliberate attempt to eliminate future generations of Uighurs before they are even born. It is a well-planned attempt to wipe out an entire nation, to wipe a people off the face of the earth,” the statement said.

In the statement, SUK further said that the silence of the international community on the matter is shocking, and claimed that the abducted children are suffering unimaginable pain while the world watches and refrains from taking appropriate action. Calling it a moral failure, the statement said, “This is a staggering moral failure. We must ask ourselves: how can we, as a global community, turn a blind eye to the systematic destruction of an entire people, starting with the most vulnerable?”

“These kidnapped Uighur children, who have become the targets of a brutal regime’s relentless campaign of genocide, deserve much more than our sympathy. They deserve a world that stands up against their persecution, a world that refuses to accept the eradication of an entire culture. The time for action has long come. The statement further suggested that the only way to truly address this atrocity is for the international community to recognise China’s genocide against the Uighurs and other Turkic peoples, as well as its occupation of East Turkistan,” the statement said.
