Pope Francis has for the first time publicly named China's Uyghur minority among a list of the world's persecuted peoples, breaking his silence on allegations of widespread human rights abuses in Beijing's Xinjiang region

"I think often of persecuted peoples: the Rohingya, the poor Uyghurs, the Yazidi -- what ISIS did to them was truly cruel -- or Christians in Egypt and Pakistan killed by bombs that went off while they prayed in church," Francis says in a new book,"Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future," published on Monday.

Read MoreThe book, a wide-ranging reflection on Francis' vision of a post-coronavirus world was written together with papal biographer Austen Ivereigh during the summer of 2020. The Vatican recently extended a controversial agreement with Beijing over the appointment of bishops in mainland China.

Significant deterioration in foreign relations for the Chinese to be called out by the head of Catholicism, traditionally reluctant to shut the gates.

funny mud pee

How about Mayans and Aztec Spanish genocide?

Lol how about Natives in North America?

ImranKhanPTI TurkishIndy SAfridiOfficial

china is run by communist party

Real Uyghur camps.

Top in the list of persecuted minorities should be the Australian aboriginals, whose stolen children was raped or sexually abused by the evil, hypocritical Roman Catholic priests. Those aboriginals are still suffering from emotional trauma the priests' heinous crimes have caused.

Those who say Xinjiang is a bad place where Uyghurs r extremely tortured r idiots!

I’ll imagine China will have a bone to pick with the Pope. The Pope.

When will the democrats acknowledge this?

Any word on the Boer being genocided in SA?!

Will the Pop be voting for Joe Biden?

ahmettiris's account has been withheld in Turkey in response to a legal demand. Learn more.

Shouldn't he name all the women living in islamic states first?

“allegations” it’s been proven stop pandering

His Holiness the Pope should include the Banyamulenge of the DRC also as the minority under extermination.

China has every reason now to stop him from meddling in the system of three self church. China must develop one bishop who can command respect to become the chief Pope who will look after this vast piece of land and huge population's spiritual life under the rule of current govt.

The Pope needs to remove the plank from the Catholic Church eye before he can remove the speck in the eye of others . Direct quote from Jesus .

Where was he all these years ?

The Pope is a commie so I could see why he's reluctant to speak out against China's brutal treatment if its people.

what`s happening behind the curtain ? great & powerful 'oz' !

Thank you, Papa Francisco!

The Pope presides over a den of pedophiles. I he wants to find a persecuted and abused group of people, he need look no further that the children in his own back yard. The Catholic church should be prosecuted under R.I.C.O. statutes like any other organized crime syndicate.

About time!! The CCP only knows how to abuses human rights just like the Vatican.

Another China puppet

Who the hell is the Pope anyway. The Pope doesn't do anything for all those poor people suffering around the world. But to his corrupt organization. Period. May he burn in hell Amen!!.😇🙏

What can he do about it though?

Too little too late xi ping wing ting needs to answer questions at the court of human rights anything less it’s a failure

Has he said anything about Black people in Amerikkka?

i am poor in western history,so who can tell me something about CRUSADES?

ALLÉGATIONS !!!!

Hey, the Pope still has some balls left.

Why didn't he stand up when if would have made a difference? YOU SIR ARE NO JOHN PAUL II FOR SURE. God does not send the meek he sends the righteous.

Well done!

Damn, and just after the NBA visited him.

Id love to know what the hell it accomplishes for the Pope to say ANYTHING nowadays...

Is he a Muslim?

Meanwhile in Xinjiang,Uyghur’s life is this

About time someone is recognizing China's human rights abuses against the Uyghur. Thank you Pontifex for being the first to do it. Those people are suffering something horrible there. UyghurGenocide

Is he on a delayed news cycle?

放狗屁狗屎, 方去

Because he has god eyes on him and has no special interest with China . Political or economic

Even Pope Francis is buying this US and Turkmen nationalist's propaganda. The main organisation alleging these 'work camp', World Ouighour Congress is openly financed by NED, know as the financial arm of CIA for regime change operations.

GOD IS FAKE . A STORY LIKE HUMPDY DUMPDY... WHO CARES...

welcome to xinjiang see how Uyghur people life

Chi.. na. & ..qui..na..

Shame they cover up paedophilia though eh

From how western media report USA election, you can see western media never tell people truth, they might don't know the truth indeed. And so, most you western people know little about China. Please get the true stories from your friends who visited or still stay in China.

The lying WEST has gone totally mad

I would love to have him kiss me 3 The Francis, I mean.

Funny mad pee

He doing some work honey

Uyghur are in better condition than African Americans

When western propaganda talks about Xinjiang, they will never tell you how many people died in terrorist attacks. Uyghur girls whose legs were blown off by bombs and assassinated imams are also Uyghur.

jeremiah_deme Man

Nothing this pompous believer has to say has any credit. He's still pushing ignorance and protecting criminals...

What took so long?

pope is foolish

I, immaculate states on the public eye of the west -that there is no God in my east continent dominion as their speaker in your view, away withe you! before my seraphic eyes bend the moon and the sun towards your way.

请教皇先生来我们新疆和西藏走走,看看当地维吾尔族人怎么受到迫害的?不了解当地的情况就胡乱下结论是不是歧视中国人?西方媒体一大部分总是戴着有色眼镜看待中国政府。

Pope now cares muslims. He must forget crusades.

is not he the pope of catholics, or now muslims?

Is there any solid confirmed evidence to shoulder this allegation? No, not even a single piece, but you still keep shouting, screaming...... It shows a value of the west and the why the pandemic make you suffer so much.

SB。mind your own business first.

WTF is Beijing's Xinjiang region, as both of them are geographic areas?

Uyghur population increased from 5M to 12M in the past 2 decades.

God must have wanted Pontifex to be the last to know.

Who gives a shit the church is meaningless and morally bankrupt

Big love

What about US, UK ?

the largest dictatorship in the world must be held responsible for those abuses as well as for covid -19, both of which amount to crimes against humanity!

I hope young catholic boys are on the list

Pontifex the world is proud to have you. May The Good Lord continue to bless you.

Spreading more propaganda while ignoring the suffering here in the US 🙄

Like all the videos and live videos posted by Uyghurs and foreigners living in Xinjiang showed the local people enjoying their daily life?

Seriously

👏

And your party will continue to allow these people to be tortured and murdered because Joe Biden is in bed with China.

Bet that made the CCP happy and we don't care they are happy

扯淡呢。在中国汉族才是最被歧视,权力被剥夺的最厉害的民族。少民都是贵族。

The pope is a pedo lover satanist. Google and read ‘Wikileaks pope orders’ about his sick knights of Malta. SRA

What a loser !!! What took him so long ? Chinese money ?

Boss Pope strikes again. Get em’, holy Father 🇻🇦🇻🇦🇻🇦

nice

No one cares.

Amen.

Awesome. While China is killing their Uyghurs, Pope and the west is playing List games and press releases. Also while buying every cheap product comes from China. Hypocrites.

JoeBiden KamalaHarris I really wish this can be said out loud!

As if

Live look at china's response

Wow the pope speaks up setting an example to the Muslim leaders

western bomb and killed people in the middle east, people like oh, That's normal, it's called collateral damage someone took a picture of a prison in Xinjiang, People like fuck, stop that, that's human rights violation.

uh oh....persecution of Catholics in China coming up...

Now denounce and purge all the pedophiles of the Catholic church fam

The despicable Francis joined the team to frame China

You will never find a concentration camp in Xinjiang, not because it is hidden, but because it has never existed in the world. Just like Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.

This guy is misinformed

China is portrayed as a troll. If you accuse China, you will be regarded as a hero, and you will be honored and rewarded. Trump knows this, Joe Biden knew this, Marco Rubio knows this. Pope Francis certainly knows this.

Aaaand he okayed same-sex civil unions? Oh he gonna die.

Pope Francis joined the crowd that framed China. Just as they once joined the Nazis and framed the Jews.

这老头又犯浑,磕多了

Pope Francis is the Pope that the Catholic Church has been waiting for.

Finally!

☝️Communism WHO

What have the Uyghurs done for us realDonaldTrump ? Xinjiang is an integral part of mainland China. This blessing will be seen by Western backed separatists as a green light to step up their terrorist campaign. Welcome to New Afghanistan JoeBiden Nigel_Farage TomTugendhat

May they be protected by power of God.

The whole fxkin China is one huge labor camp.

Seriously?! They have bigger problems with sexual harassment in their own Church and now they are suddenly preaching human rights. I don't pretend that Chinese government violated human rights. Yet the Vatican is concerned now. The hypocrisy is astounding.

BS

What about the wide spread prosecution of women. In the three big religion?

You are only allowed to have crucifixes not exceeding a certain height on churches in China. I think that law is still in effect in China. If you're a Catholic in China,you're probably on the police computer.100 million visible security cameras in public in China...all connected

Boycott China and its dirty products! A nation of bats and rats eating! Curse the Chinese government! The country of no ethics or morals! They know nothing but money

ya, years to late

no one speaks of the gigantic concentration camps built in xianjiang in CHINA.

where is the proof there is literally no proof 😐

I can smell the CCP fans are coming

A joke:The westward movement is to help the Indians - This is what white people taught you in history class, right?

The pope is pooping.

Also, its funny that the pope acknowledges something that 90% of CNN employees dont.

I tried to turn both parts in for 16 days on here, 79720 has upset third parts, private INTEREST I am only a photo journalist, I tried as reported to you all on the record I am a hostage

Just saying.Beijing's Next step is the world.

💕💕💕

I see I'm too late to beat Mao's 50 cent army and the 'Whataboutists' brigade. What the CCP is doing is wrong. Francis is right to say so.

How about he goes balls out and blames them for setting the world alight with covid 19 ChinaVirus and blames them for crashing the world economy

Finally, someone other than Trump that will speak out against China's evil.

good news

The Pope has referred to Rohingyas , Yazidi and Christians in Pakistan too in his new book '' Let Us Dream :The Path To a Better Future .'

This is an important, commendable step for the Uyghurs. Muslim leaders have generally been quiet which is a shame. But hope Pope Francis remarks pushes more leaders and nations in to action to protect not just Uyghurs but all persecuted people.

Coolest Pope ever 🙌

Pope Francis, ex Pope Benedict both get Covid-19 vaccine - VaticanBoth Pope Francis and ex Pope Benedict have received the first dose of a vaccine against coronavirus, the Vatican said on Thursday. The 84-year-old pope and the 93-year-old former pope, got their jabs as part of a Vatican vaccination program that began on Wednesday. Francis is perhaps more at risk because part of one of his lungs was removed following an illness when he was a young man in his native Argentina.
