Over 160 rights groups call on IOC chief to revoke 2022 Beijing Winter Games
Over 160 human rights advocacy groups have delivered a joint letter to the chief of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) calling for it to reconsider its choice to award China the 2022 Winter Games in light of Beijing’s human rights record.
It is the largest coordinated effort following several months of similar calls from individual rights groups, and comes as Beijing is facing increased international backlash over policies including its treatment of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang and new security laws in Hong Kong.
Separately, in an open letter released Wednesday, a coalition of over 300 civil society groups including Human Rights Watch called for the U.N. to set up an independent international mechanism to monitor and report on the human rights situation in China.

US halts imports from China's Uighur region for forced labor
Four companies and a manufacturing facility in northwestern China were blocked Monday from shipping their products to the U.S. because of their suspected reliance on forced labor from people detained as part of a massive campaign against ethnic minorities in the region.
Many Uyghurs in Xinjiang have been detained in re-education camps, and the Human Rights Watch has alleged that these camps have been used to indoctrinate Uyghurs and other Muslims since 2017 as part of a "people's war on terror," a policy announced in 2014. The re-educarion camps also functioned as forced labor camps, in which the detainees labor to produce products such as cotton for export.
Cotton is central to the industry of the region, and majority of China's cotton is produced in the Xinjiang province.
