Action against China over treatment of Uygurs

This looks like a “Vocational Skills Training Centre”, right? Right.
Dabancheng, Xinjiang, September 2018
Finally! This is good and about time. It’s been three years or more we’ve known about Beijing’s brutal treatment of Muslim Uygurs in Xinjiang, apparently simply because of their religion. To Beijing this is a counter-terrorism effort, and “vocational training”.
Britain too, is taking action, via the Magnitsky Act against Chinese officials engaged in the oppression.
Glaringly absent: the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.  Its 57 members have been silent on the treatment of its coreligionists in Xinjiang. The power of Chinese mammon.
A thread on how we got to action stations.
