Lobby UN for sanctions against Chinese government for their treatment of Uighurs
Recently, the Chinese government has been integrating the Uighur population in China by mass surveillance, re-education camps, destruction of mosques and deeming acts of worship like observing Ramadan as extremism.
Whilst encouraging unity for a greater China is admirable, these actions are not and are erasing the culture, history and destroying lives of Uighurs.
As a founder member of UN, it's our responsibility to lobby for decisive yet peaceful action against members who perform significant inhumane acts.
