New Report Calls China's Treatment of Uyghur Muslims "Modern-Day Slavery" | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A new report says China's mistreatment of the Uyghur religious minority amounts to "modern-day slavery." The special report was commissioned by the United Nations. It cites the use of forced labor in agriculture and manufacturing in one region in the northwest part of the Communist country. Beijing says it is merely providing work opportunities for the minority population. Chair of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Nury Turkel, joins to talk more about the report and what stuck out to him the most about it. Other than forced labor, Turkel discusses some of the other ways China is mistreating religious minorities, Uyghur Muslims in particular. There have also been reports of forced sterilization and late term abortions performed on Uyghur women. The USCIRF Chair tells us more about that. He explains how the US and the international community have reacted to this report and how China has reacted as well. China was not the only nation named in the report as producing modern-day slavery conditions. Turkel fills us in on that.
