HONG KONG - The U.S. ambassador for religious freedom, Sam Brownback, on Friday called on Beijing to end religious persecution in China, while requesting a visit to the country’s mass internment camps in the western region of Xinjiang.
Addressing the subject of China’s vast internment camps for Muslims in Xinjiang, Brownback spoke of rights violations including torture, political indoctrination and forced labour. The camps reportedly hold more than a million ethnic Uighurs and people from other Muslim minorities, “We don’t discuss internal matters about what’s being discussed about possible actions in any place around the world, the same for Xinjiang.”“I would like to have the opportunity to go, but not to just to be given a show. I want to get into the actual camps themselves and talk to people and interview them freely.”
Just to ensure that everyone sees us as the most horrendous country on Earth. What else is new?
Just curious---does the US make any point by having the US enjoy for Religious Freedom slam China in Hong Kong? Am I the only one that thinks this is stupid?
Developed countries with limited basic rights are less worthy of existence.
No doubt China was deeply moved.
Tap tap... Is this thing on?
Really?
I hope he is allowed by Trump to condemn Saudi also at some point😡
