London [UK], January 12 (ANI): The United Kingdom on Tuesday blasted China for the "harrowing treatment" of its Uyghur minority and said will introduce new measures to ensure that UK companies are not part of Xinjiang region supply chain.
Addressing the country's Parliament, UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Tuesday said that the evidence of the scale and severity of the human rights violation being purported in Xinjiang against the Uyghur Muslims is now far-reaching.
"The evidence of the scale and severity of the human rights violation being purported in Xinjiang against the Uyghur Muslims is now far-reaching and it paints the truly harrowing picture. Violations include extrajudicial detention of over a million Uyghur Muslims in reeducation camps," he said.
