Calling out crimes against humanity is the duty of every free country; Estonia, as a young democracy having lived through crimes against humanity during Soviet occupation, must be one of the leading voices to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for committing genocide in Xinjiang, Iverson Ng and Oliver Loode write.
During February 4-20, China is organizing the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. For over a year, a group of US-based Tibetans, Hongkongers and Uyghurs have been campaigning for a global boycott against the games. So far, 10 countries including Estonia and Lithuania joined the diplomatic boycott. While the Estonian government subtly participates in the US-led diplomatic boycott, it should recognize China's act of genocide against Uyghurs in Xinjiang, write indigenous people's rights expert Oliver Loode and Hong Kong-based journalist Iverson Ng.
