WUC calls for Olympic Games not to be held in Beijing

  • By John Delorian
  • (General Dispatch) – The Uyghur Muslim ethnic group has raised their voices and are calling through the (WUC) to President Thomas Bach (IOC) for the Olympic Games not to be held in Beijing for crimes against humanity to their ethnicity. 
  • The UN has issued a report revealing that the CCP has carried out violent acts against ethnic minorities since 2017, among these are around 1-3 million Uyghurs, who have suffered psychological and physical mistreatment from the Communist party.
  • The WUC had sent a letter of complaint to former UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon for not taking into account the situation of the ethnic group, but still opted for the decision to hold the games in Beijing.
  • The Uighurs have submitted a large amount of evidence demonstrating CCP violence, crimes and genocide in concentration camps in Xinjiang. 
  • The IOC issued a response to the letter sent by the WUC saying it “must remain neutral in all global political affairs,” and this apparently because the CCP said it would respect the parameters set for the games to be held in the country.
  • The CCP has denied any activity against the ethnic group, and referred to the concentration camps as “educational centers” to include the ethnic group in the Chinese workforce and keep them away from extremist Islam that would incite them to carry out terrorist attacks in Xinjiang.
  • Some Uyghurs who managed to escape from the “educational centers” said they were sexually abused, witnessed castrations, forced sterilizations and abortions. They were forced to perform hourly activities in addition to being forced to learn about Chinese communism.
