Call for more support for Uyghur Muslims in NZ

From Morning Report, 8:54 am on 25 March 2021

New Zealand has added its support to fresh condemnation of China for its alleged human rights abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority.

The UK, US, Canada and the EU on Tuesday imposed sanctions on Chinese officials linked to human rights breaches against the Uyghur people in Xinjiang.

Sam Vincent from Uyghur Solidarity Aotearoa wants more action - including accepting Uyghur Muslims as refugees.
