China a ‘glaring example’ of religious repression, US says – By Al Jazeera and News Agencies (Al Jazeera) / June 2, 2022
US Department of State slams China for committing ‘genocide’ against Uighurs in annual report on global religious freedom.
China provides a “glaring example” of how governments are cracking down on religious minorities, a US official has said, as the Department of State released its annual report on religious freedom around the world.
Rashad Hussain, the US ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, said during a news conference on Thursday that “far too many governments remain undeterred of their repression of their citizens”.
“It comes as no surprise that the People’s Republic of China is a glaring example here,” he told reporters.
“The PRC government continue[s] to commit genocide and crimes against humanity against Uighurs, who are predominantly Muslim, and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups.”
