Met dank overgenomen van Europees Parlement (EP), gepubliceerd op donderdag 17 december 2020. On Thursday and Friday, the European Parliament adopted two resolutions taking stock of the human rights situation in China, Iran and Egypt. Forced labour and the situation of the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China Parliament strongly condemns the Chinese government-led system of forced labour - in particular the exploitation of Uyghur, ethnic Kazakh and Kyrgyz, and other Muslim minority groups - in factories within and outside internment camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It also denounces the continued transfer of forced labourers to other Chinese administrative divisions, and the fact that well-known European brands and companies have been benefiting from forced Chinese labour.
