Justice For All Canada Joins 71 International Organizations Calling For Greater Coordination in Global Sanctions Against Chinese Government

August 18th, 2020 
​
Our Save Uighur Campaign acknowledges and commends the letter by Human Rights First, co-signed by Justice For All Canada, to multilaterize targeted sanctions against the Chinese government on their genocidal acts towards the Uyghur and other Turkic people of East Turkestan (Xinjiang).

This comes after China has incarcerated millions of these minorities in brainwashing concentration camps and prisons, enacting family separation, forced sterilization, organ harvesting, and other physical and cultural methods of erasure.

The following statement includes two specific requests:
  1. First, it requests that British and Canadian governments use their respective targeted human rights sanctions programs to mirror the US government’s recent sanctions actions concerning East Turkestan; and second,
  2. It requests that all three governments routinize information-sharing concerning human rights and anti-corruption targeted sanctions as a means to multilaterize Magnitsky-like sanctions

The Human Rights First letter includes 71 organizational signatories, Uyghur rights groups, international NGOs, and global national NGOs.

This comes after the US government announced sanctions against top Chinese officials for genocidal acts towards Uyghurs and other Turkic people⸺a move that had been pushed by coalition members and activists for years. Very recently, the Canadian parliament’s Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development heard powerful testimonies from 23 individuals and organizations on the Uighur genocide.

“Justice For All Canada and its Save Uighur Campaign have long called for sanctions designation of Uyghur Region Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary Chen Quanguo, other senior CCP officials for their design and execution of the Uighur genocide. It’s high time the Canadian government declared the human rights abuses against Uighurs a genocide and invoked Magnitsky-like sanctions against the orchestrators,” said Taha Ghayyur, Executive Director of Justice for All Canada.
