Countries that Condemned or Defended China’s Mass Detention of Uyghurs

In a battle of letters that unfolded at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva this month, 22 countries formally condemned China's mass detention of some 1.5 million Muslims in determent camps. In response, China enlisted the support of fellow authoritarian countries. The resulting letter was signed by 37 states, and read: "We commend China’s remarkable achievements in the field of human rights.”

Disgraceful and shameful, particularly of Muslim countries who would be expected to support their coreligionists.
All of humankind, regardless of race and religion deserve to live in peace and harmony.
For thousands of years mankind has failed
to learn any lessons of living together peacefully.
Death is now becoming more welcome to many people suffering inhuman atrocities.
But even then, ghouls have emerged as in Syria, where government soldiers were seen to be desecrating graves and breaking them up!
The world is becoming filled with horror, hate and evil. Something has to give.

This is a complete disgrace on the part of any country failing to condemn these evil acts of mankind.

This is disgusting and outrageous, the idea that any country in the middle east region would fail to condemn this brutal affair. I would have expected the state of Israel to condemn China for running camps that may turn into gas chambers. The Chinese are brutal, and have been for the past 100 years. The Nazi ideology buried deep within Marxism is in play. The tide is shifting. Down with Communism.
