Government blocks motion to recognise China's treatment of Uighurs as genocide

The federal government and Labor blocked the motion proposed by Independent senator Rex Patrick to the Chinese government's actions against the Muslim minority as "genocide". 

“It is most regrettable that Coalition and Labor Senators combined to block a vote on a motion that recognises the incontrovertible fact that the Chinese Government is engaged in a campaign against the Uyghur people that constitutes an international crime within the scope of the 1948 Genocide Convention," Senator Patrick said.

Liberal Senator Jonathan Duniam said the government did not believe the motion was an appropriate means of addressing the human rights concerns. Labor Senator Katy Gallagher also said the party strongly condemned the "human rights violations" against Uighurs and other ethnic minorities.

Over & over, we see democratic countries following #CCP's agenda and support their #HumanRightsViolations. Now, people are arrested because of their race & political stands. This is a political arrest that is racist, violate #humanright & undermine #freedomofspeech. This is wrong in multiple levels. The issue has become more than just about #BoycottBeijingOlympics. But it's about #CCP destroying the #ruleoflaw in other countries.

A rare statement from UN committee to urge #HKGov to repeal #NationalSecurityLaw. Hopeful, this will be a start for the UN to finally recognize the #HumanRightsViolations committed by #CCP and start taking action.
