“Products from the Chinese re-education camps for Uyghurs should be banned from the EU market and Chinese authorities should release full details of Uyghurs who have forcibly disappeared from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region”, said Michael Gahler MEP, EPP Group Spokesman for Foreign Affairs, and Isabel Wiseler-Lima MEP, EPP Group Spokeswoman for Human Rights, ahead of Parliament’s plenary debate on the situation of the Uyghur minority in China. Both stressed that the EPP Group is extremely worried about the revelations of an organised system of re-education camps for the Muslim Uyghurs and other minorities in China, in particular in the northwest province of Xinjiang. The estimated scale of repression and the extremely systematic way in which it is carried out are revolting. The Chinese authorities should fully clarify the situation by granting access to journalists and international observers to the detention camps. They should also release the full details to the families of those who have forcibly disappeared in Xinjiang, including their names, whereabouts and status”, concluded Wiseler-Lima.
