U.K. Calls for UN Action in China, Myanmar, Russia and Belarus

U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will call on the United Nations to take action against “systemic” human rights violations in China, Myanmar, Russia and Belarus in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council on Monday.

According to the Foreign Office, Raab will say the situation in China’s Xinjiang province is “beyond the pale”, and reported abuses -- including torture, forced labor and sterilization of women -- are taking place on an “industrial scale.”
