China: Parliament of Great Britain recognizes the 'genocide' of Uyghurs

 The British House of Commons tonight approved a motion, passed without the approval of the government of Boris Johnson, which recognizes the repression by the Beijing authorities against the Muslim minority of Uyghurs in Xinjiang as "genocide". The motion does not commit the executive, according to which a possible verdict of this kind belongs first to an international court, but was promoted by both opposition MPs - Labor in the lead - and the majority, such as former conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith or former undersecretary Nus Ghani, both sanctioned by China in a recent act of retaliation.
