Ms. Nusrat Ghani detailed the genocide convention's criteria and presented evidence of killings, torture, poor living conditions in camps, forced sterilisations, and child transfers from families, emphasising that these actions meet legal definitions of genocide.

The situation in Xinjiang, China has repeatedly been highlighted by evidence of sterilisation, mass internment, organ harvesting, and modern-day slavery. The Government's current policy on genocide determination is untenable as there are no courts capable of hearing these cases. The speaker calls for a review and reform of this policy. Additionally, the Uyghur tribunal should be given full cooperation from the Government including evidence provision and acceptance of impartial judgment. There is also a call to sanction Chen Quanguo, who is believed to be responsible for atrocities in Xinjiang and Tibet. Yasmin Qureshi stresses the moral imperative to address genocide beyond party politics and highlights that other nations such as the US, Canada, and the Netherlands have recognised these events as genocide.

Congratulated his hon. Friend on securing the debate and leading the BEIS Committee inquiry; emphasised the need to call out China's human rights abuses, including forced organ harvesting, Uyghur slave labour, mass rape, and forced sterilisation. He cited evidence from Sir Geoffrey Nice QC and others that China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs and other minority groups. Urged the Government to declare this a genocide, as the US, Canada, and Holland have done.

Congratulates the hon. Member for Wealden on securing this debate, highlighting the persecution of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang as one of the most distressing human rights abuses.

Criticises the UK Government for not matching the gravity of the situation, noting that reports indicate China's actions contravene international conventions against genocide. Questions the sincerity of 'Global Britain' in light of the government’s decision to protect trade deals with countries committing human rights abuses. Urges the Government to support a genocide amendment and press China to close detention camps, cease surveillance, and allow independent access to Xinjiang.

Supports the motion condemning human rights abuses in China, particularly focusing on the Uyghurs and Tibetans. He emphasises that these actions should not be seen as a trade-off against environmental concerns. Discusses historical genocides and calls for action beyond debate to prevent future atrocities. Criticises Chinese officials who are guilty of genocide and urges further sanctions against them. Highlights threats faced by Uyghur exiles in the UK due to intimidation from China and calls for more support for refugees.

Congratulated the hon. Member for Wealden on bringing the debate and highlighted the work of a new campaign group co-founded by her constituent, Kirsty Robson, which challenges us to learn lessons from the holocaust and break the cycle of impunity for perpetrators that allows atrocities to continue. Acknowledged BBC journalist John Sudworth's work in exposing China’s persecution of the Uyghurs. Mentioned the existence of detention camps where 1 million or more Uyghurs are interned, facing severe abuse and forced labour. Emphasised the importance of recognising and acting on atrocities faced by ethnic and religious minorities in China.

Pays tribute to the work of his hon. Friend on human rights abuses in Xinjiang; highlights the importance of recognising systematic suffering, developing a morally defensible policy towards China, and building alliances globally to protect ethical sustainability.

Urges the government to recognise the systematic persecution of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang as genocide. The evidence is overwhelming, and it is time for decisive action including sanctions against complicit actors, and prioritising human rights over trade expediency.

Supports the motion, highlighting the importance of learning from historical atrocities such as the Holocaust. Emphasises that evidence points to serious human rights abuses against Uyghurs and calls for condemnation and action by the UK Government.

All the speeches so far have been moving and powerful. I thank the Backbench Business Committee for enabling the debate... Members here today will not stand aside. Our Government must no longer stand aside in the face of these appalling crimes.

May I add my congratulations to my hon. Friend the Member for Wealden (Ms Ghani) on securing the debate? There are clearly human rights violations taking place in Xinjiang province in China... do everything we can to ensure that those who perpetrate these awful actions will never get away with it.

I absolutely support the motion and congratulate the hon. Member for Wealden (Ms Ghani) on securing the debate... We must finally have the courage to condemn it as genocide and to take action to show China we will not tolerate it.

Congratulates the hon.

I congratulate the hon. Member for Wealden on setting the scene and all her colleagues in the magnificent seven who are prepared to take a stand in this House, in the other House and outside Parliament. Despite the Chinese Communist party’s attempts to conceal the unconscionable human rights abuses carried out in Xinjiang, we hold clear and irrefutable evidence of the atrocities being perpetrated against the Uyghurs there. I declare an interest as chair of the all-party parliamentary group for international freedom of religion or belief. In that role, I am aware of a systematic campaign against freedom of religious belief in China: the religious activities of the country’s more than 70 million Christians, 10 million Falun Gong and 8 million Tibetan Buddhists are also severely restricted, with widespread state surveillance, harassment and detention of religious leaders. The Chinese Government have created a stifling and intimidating environment for Tibetan Buddhists who wish to practise their religion, with surveillance, travel restrictions and re-education programmes. I believe it is time that the House called again, as it has in the past, for that to be ended as soon as possible. I ask three things of the Government. First, while I welcome Her Majesty’s Government’s introduction of targeted sanctions, much more needs to be done to hold the Chinese Communist party to account.

Throughout this debate, we have all heard the harrowing stories of the mass human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang. We have heard about the mass detention camps; forced labour; systematic campaigns of rape, sexual abuse and torture; forced sterilisation; the separation of children from their parents; the destruction of mosques; and the erasure of Uyghur culture. The Chinese Communist party has a shambolic record on human rights, with long-established repression of Christians, Tibetans and Falun Gong. Indeed, the lessons learned from the oppression of Tibetans have been applied in Xinjiang. Given such behaviour, what faith does the Minister have that China will allow full access to the Human Rights Commissioner to visit Xinjiang for a full and robust investigation into the genocide that appears to be taking place? Moreover, if China continues to be obstructive, what legislative action will the UK Government take? What can we learn from allies that seek to uphold the international rules-based order?

I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Wealden and express solidarity with those targeted by China. The Labour party condemns the oppression of Uyghur people, including mass surveillance, arbitrary detention, torture, forced sterilisation, child separation, religious suppression, and linguistic restrictions. There is credible legal evidence suggesting genocide in Xinjiang, but international courts are blocked due to China's opposition or lack of consent. We urge Parliament to take action by supporting the motion, which would instruct the British Government to comply with its legal duties under the 1948 genocide convention.

Acknowledged the strength of feeling across the House regarding the situation in Xinjiang. Emphasised the grave concern at human rights violations, citing satellite imagery and reports by survivors and journalists. Noted that the UK has sanctioned four individuals responsible for violations and designated an organisation. Mentioned robust domestic measures to avoid complicity in forced labour through supply chains and increased diplomatic pressure on China.

Secured the debate, urging a unanimous vote to support her motion that Uyghurs and other minorities are suffering crimes against humanity and genocide. Called for action from the Government to fulfill its obligations under international law.
