Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canada is a nation that believes in standing up for human rights, the right to practice one's own religion without persecution;
- "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude" and "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", as stated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
- Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China, are facing a cultural genocide as a result of the Chinese Government's 're-education policy', and are being violently assimilated, repressed and abused;
- Coercive labor is being done by detainees of Uyghur and Turkic Muslim decent, and there is evidence of population control through forced sterilization of Uyghur women;
- We have learned much from our nation's abuses of Indigenous peoples, and strives to be better and do better locally and abroad; and
- The Government of China has yet to face consequences for its actions.
