Thank you to the many constituents getting in touch regarding religious freedom in Xinjiang.
I can very much assure you that I share concerns at the at the shameful and gross human rights abuses taking place in Xinjiang which includes forced labour and extra-judicial detention.
I was very pleased that the government also recently announced measures over the human rights abuses in Xinjiang:

Further, last year the Government introduced sanctions under a new global human rights scheme:

I know that the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) continues to monitor this extremely distressing situation and I will continue to do so as well.
If you would like to discuss this further or any other matter, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
