I look forward to testify at next week's China Commission hearing on the impossibility of conducting social audits in Xinjiang.

Focus will be on Volkswagen's recent audit-washing, VW/BASF's presence in Xinjiang, and the abuse of audits to conceal forced labor risks.

Was wonderful for SUG to be invited to APPG on Uyghurs Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the Houses of Parliament this morning!

We sat alongside MPs and allies all tirelessly working for the #Uyghur cause. Thank you Alistair Carmichael MP for his excellent chairmanship... (1/2)🧵

Following today’s AGM, Alistair Carmichael MP will remain as Chair, with Afzal Khan MP Iain Duncan Smith MP and Lord (David) Alton as Vice-Chairs.

Thank you to our membership, to our network and to Rahima Mahmut, Chloe Cranston, Sam Dunning and CamUyghurRightsCampaign for sharing their latest updates.

🚨Tainted supply chains of cotton, solar panels and other goods made with the blood of Uyghurs MUST be banned from our supply chains!

We call on the UK government to implement tough legislation banning goods made with #UyghurForcedLabour , introducing similar to that of #UFLPA .

The fight for freedom and human rights for the Uyghurs will go on until China stops the Uyghur Genocide.
