ok and you're watching the stream china is preparing to host the winter olympics in 2022 but should it be allowed a growing number of groups are saying no they all concerned about the country's human rights record especially beijing's treatment of its minority weak up muslim population what are your thoughts and you can share them in our live chat part of today's discussion. the united nations says that at least $1000000.00 we have been detained in mass

prison camps in the region in recent years activists say that prisoners have been subjected to torture force labor and of mass sterilization and a new independent report has found china to be in breach of all 5 acts of genocide as defined by united nations despite growing evidence china has denied any wrongdoing in changing the country's foreign minister recently said that beijing's treatment of weakness was a shining example of china's human rights progress and this week a former minister spokesperson criticize boycott schools. we're going to go some western provinces even gone so far as to pass bills about. the absurd frost the tories with facts slanders and smears trying or shorter and up and damaging their own reputation and making themselves. and now more countries are starting to openly challenge china's narrative top officials in at least 3 countries the united

states canada and the netherlands have recently condemned beijing's treatment of the weaker people as genocide rights groups and now mean politicians corporate sponsors and athletes to boycott the olympics joining us to discuss all of this we have mama jan jr he is deputy director of radio free asia as weak as service and our start is an attorney and advocate and sophie richardson is china director of human rights watch all 3 guests are based in washington d.c. welcome to i guess i have to say that we also asked chinese government officials to join us they declined but they responded immediately they sent us quotes from the foreign ministry of spokespeople who for ready made quotes and comments in different news articles it is really good to see you again this is a difficult topic for us to to wrestle with because why why we still talking about this year's. years later let me show you one china government official's response

to a lot of the increased knowledge about what is happening to the week is in china picture number one wake up people as seen by the general public in their daily lives up in china picking up a 2 week of people inching jiang while china by the western media amid the intensifying saunders' against china well not john but you know what do you say hey this is supposed to rely think china well what are you saying here that the great picture by the way but whenever we look at the chinese media training leaders and people are traders dancing all the time and look at the pier you see people dancing down these able have not seen my legs you know inform people we are and this is this is how holding camp you know this is how the west according to china sees the way the people and these are the some of the people who are in

canada australia and turkey these people have relatives in the camps who have lost their parents. even children to the camps they're searching for their relatives actually and they are given voices and these are media actually on the contrary trying i didn't get any voice any permission for them to speak to the relatives even make it on call so these are the people portrayed and given space under vested media actually where have you have been on the stream if at so thing you've all been on the stream over the years you've been telling us increasingly how the situation for the winter people is coming was what is different right now in terms of the information we know right. well 1st i just want to jump in on the last comment you know that is not the proper representation of the general public if

anything my family as a general public and i'm looking for my brother and my pin straight now like i mean i can't imagine excruciating. or parents still looking for their missing son for almost 5 years and if you look at that picture it really show this chinese government's very anti muslim narrative yes and the picture on the right one they selectively presented pictures a more conservative or you get people against the pictures on the left you know like we could communicate have a very diverse community so he wants when he jabber in the 2nd picture. to have a heavy messaging there seems like and shows you know racism and islamophobia and muslim. sentiment of the chinese government so let's be clear on the facts because you know people like me like who are basically still looking for

their family members and that is the community. i just feel like i need to jump in on that you know to make this a pitch a picture says a 1000 wasn't there so much depth in that picture again let me just go back to this so where are we right now there were not allegations a lot and you were telling us about festival people just disappearing and i know you have personal stories ran you've got personal stories so for you a look at this from a human rights position what has changed where we are right now in 2021. well i think some of the newest even though we've got about the extent of forced labor. that people who are arbitrarily detained are also now being made to work through things like labor transfer programs but the scope. of it all camps one dimensional we would talk to them until recently with the skyrocket.

you know we think as opposed to the numbers of people who are simply being put in arbitrary detention facilities and it's hard to tell what exactly has driven matt and i were extremely concerned because not only will these people not of have fair trials but also that sentences that people are getting are horrific on the average has gone from about 5 years on baseless charges now to upwards of a decade baseless charges and i think that you know largely speaks to the chinese government's agenda of keeping people silent and i'm reachable and breaking apart families and you know. identity. china breach and every article in the genocide convention says illegal report on weekends right. now in fact i'm actually part of the team that presented the world it's clear and convincing

evidence that china actually be responsible for committing ongoing genocide in breach of the genocide convention and the clear and convincing. evidence that it is a pretty high stressful for me and for those of you your audience who don't understand the legal standard and that's what this report does you know we came together more than 50 independent legal experts as well as regional experts and that is a fact and aren't i think so free mention a really good point right now based internment camps are being turned into premier prison camps hoping larch members are that you know said well you good people and you know i just found out and recently that my brother is actually since january 2019 as being held in solitary confinement just think about a for a 2nd when a young man who walks into these internment camps and after more than 2 and

a half years there holding solitary confinement what does that do to your physical and mental health you know i can imagine like what what kind of life he's living he looked like a ghost in a few minutes we deal that the chinese government showed and it's absolutely despicable it's considered to be torture under the international norms what the tennis game is doing to my own brother and millions of innocent people who and this is a very basic question of the people who are just trying to understand why will china do this why what they hold why we're at a terrible state he said he was skin and bones when you go lots to and you caught him on a video can you explain just just. why would china do this look i think at the end of the day the hate actually became

a state policy there's so much deeply rooted racism against people if the fact in fact if i could quote a chinese official what he said is that we're trying to turn people to normal people. who speaks like that. like when you are targeting and make group and say look we're turning them to normal so are we have normal is that the statement my brother is like a very successful entrepreneur who's do you buy the chinese government and milky came to the united states on a state department sponsored program then he they labeled him as the enemy of the state so the leaked official documents off the chinese government surveilled that people could be targeted for many reasons one being obviously ethnic group it could be religious persecution as well as just being young and one truly devastating aspect of this intellectuals the finest are we good society is the prime her target

for these present and when you target the best of the society the shippers and movers of that society then you would lay the foundation to commit genocide much and i would love it will help here as a journalist because you are personally connected to what is happening in china for your own family members but you also reporting the story so here on my laptop is a night of nations genocide convention as a journalist can you just go for one to 5 killing members of the group evidence of that please mama done yet. recorded fishermen rights groups and according to some new news confirmation that we are a complaint from the local areas and if they come. indicate that actually some reports at in one camp that we confirmed $150.00 people

died in it and it's short time it carried so and some some people or it died after they were being released so even though we cannot confirm mass mass deaths in the camps but after happening that that's for sure and at this moment like we talked about the 50500000 where your kids are being kept rated from their families they're still held in the government that's number 5 on for simply just transferring children of the current to a novel yet causing serious hassanein and mental harm to members of the people we heard about and i had a brother that that's number 2 number 3 in fact inflicting conditions calculated to bring about the pope's physical destruction in holland pot this is huge what is that you know i'm hot. well much of that is resemble that could be we can say

that. there is something subjected to mental and physical torture in the camps and outside the camps they're subjected to brainwashing. they're subjected to abolish their. their cultural identity for example and their living spaces living freedom and from every aspect of being kind of restricted and china and many many chinese officials to stay with the weakest family to monitor them and we get women is forcefully sterilized and natural birth rate is plummeted for example in cost her a loan 60 percent from 2015 to 2900 so when they were forced to this kind of oppression i believe that that that that would cause physical and mental harm to their body so now we are calling the filtration what it is

genocide is a situation that's coming up which is the olympics coming up in 2022 and this is something to off on who we spoke to is thinking about now is what or what is happening right now to we get people off on this thinking about the olympics and how what they want to strategize around the olympics i will have a listen. the chinese regime at the moment is simply incapable or unwilling to address its treatment of the legal population and when i mean treatment i mean the genocide that is happening in the 21st century because far too long countries and governments have a peace china both politically and economically hoping that china one day became this democratic liberal and free nation but that simply hasn't happened in fact it's gotten worse now that beijing 2022 olympics is right around the corner and it's a chance for individuals organizations companies countries and governments to take

a stance and say china we do not support your genocide games but the question is how much are those entities willing to give up how much influence power and money are the are they willing to give up the soft power that china offers them sophia's knotting i'm going to put this to sophie but not before i read out the statement from the i say the international olympic committee recognizes the whole human rights but has neither the mandate well the capability to change the laws of the political system of a sovereign country that's what the i.o.c. says so what do you say oh say that the i.o.c. has the power to swear games are out and about sounds i think it was a real mistake to to another round of kings in trying to give me a clear. path to list for human rights abuses that turns authorities did not live

up to the promises that they made beating hard to get both games in the 1st place and the reality of the 12 years later. the chinese government is committing human rights violations of a scope and a scary thought that we haven't seen since the 19898001 square massacre. so the idea that you can host. feel good event which the human spirit is celebrated well carrying around her arithmetic violations . really i think strong community and it's going to be an obvious rallying point i think not just for the human community and we're on target most of the opera but i think it can be very interesting to see how athletes who are very outspoken risk all of the way to having to compete in this environment but john i'm just looking hannah i know you don't mind me showing your real progress story your brother still missing is

a tweet you said he's punished because of your wealth at radio free asia he's innocent in china knows it should be released unconditionally what difference does an upcoming a lympics make to stories like yours and other people is it enough with china little can you get lashed international attention with china baseplate in any way. like i said my brother my judgment was a high school teacher and writer. his taken away in 2017 and recent news indicates that he might have been sentenced and he didn't commit any any any crimes at all like many other innocent leaguers who are in the camps and or turn to to to to to the prisons later so like sophia mentioned in 2018 many international communities argue that the olympics would encourage china to improve their human rights records but china didn't. honor

any promises that china gave coming it promises they gave to the international community at the time and told late years later we are witnessing genocide according to their reports including to the us government and that i don't know yet if it brings any change to that to the chinese society even writes why but people would say that politicizing olympics is not right but olympics is a politics for china when it's coming it's regime they use that. value or opportunity to legitimize its illegal regime so we try to set it because of that we've made china it world state country while this chicago was not permitted to hold the olympics beijing is given this opportunity to hold on to the 1st night and to hold and a winter olympics was it is extraordinary let me share some of the comments on you

tube with i'm going to ask you to do very efficient very brief response as each of us i appreciate your questions safwan i think governments especially with the muslim majority populations should be it was a condemn china full 8th ethnic genocide and also a call for more independent investigations into the weekend camps so if you take that one just a quick response but to stop what i couldn't agree with that person or it's incredibly important to hear those government speak up and we think that an independent investigation is the obvious next step that's what the world does in the face of human rights crises this is but this is terrible i'm going to give this one to you right this is terrible how can we let this go on and it's 2021 this is modern day holocaust right again. yes reluctance go on because we remain as biased that many countries are doing so so you know light of this genocide report i would like to see serious diplomatic accountability i'm part of

every country especially those stranded majority only doing so then we could prevent that we could deter the chinese government from continuing to destroy this group as a whole or in part as the genocide commercial laid out so it's time to take action be a part of change couple of ideas hey mama jan i'm going to ask you to just respond very quickly and more spoiled stock about inefficient trade blockade a little bit what happened in south africa with apartheid to try and force apartheid and lead to more says the l.t.a. son alone is not enough financial pressure well welcome back to my much on financial pressure with that well with china some companies have tried it and they've sucked but they said tough situation for many countries for example because you know we've had its 2nd biggest economy in the world but economy is the biggest

thing bigger issue for the chinese we came to stay in power so if they regain suffers from a kind of italy it might change its behavior but it depends on the big companies based on the united states and around the world that played a role in holding chinese government accountable for the atrocity committing against leaders and human rights violations as well as genocide when we talk about genocide i'm asking you beginning what. has changed what's different now from the many conversations we've had over the last few years one of the things i have noticed as a journalist at the stream is notice is that there's more a way in s. we spoke to a number of different people who wanted to continent sasso it's to this discussion and this is what i told us have a listen have a look. perpetrations aren't really challenging the chinese government on this matter for the olympics it seems like a lot of corporations are turning

a blind eye. this is the page 2022 is a point of pride for the regime but what we need to do is create a diplomatic one to show that we're not there were to say governments around the world have the power to send a strong message to beijing saying that they will not accept the genocide against we were use the repression yes the battens hungers mainland chinese people i'm just thinking sophie rahab john at the very end of the show so a single thought about now what happens next we know we have evidence we know what is happening for the most part of the week that people now want sophie human rights perspective it's absolutely imperative that there be an independent investigation that then makes recommendations. for her. or her project his government sense of impunity now right and i had you know the

chinese official said if people in she and john are living such a happy like that give us unfettered access to the region and secondly the mission of the olympics build a better world a lobbying and perpetuate a genocide to host this wonderful sports event would only allow us to be complicit in this genocide it's time for us to boycott. john i ran i always really appreciate you because you bring your own personal pain in you share it with us and you continue to campaign. now what it is it's a very tough question actually. so we should keep fighting keep pumping the drums. and like. he mentioned that unfettered access should be given to

see and investigate the region and not only handpicked journalists by the chinese government but other journalists including us should be given permission to go and investigate what happened and compare the veracity of the chinese government statements. not like always cutting out from i think that region and holding our relatives at hockey are used against us and to stop us finally if that really help the situation to change while much right and so forth thank you so much. extended gas has always come back and update us on what is happening with the wake up people in china we read that for us again today and that is our show for today thank you very much for watching i'll see you next time i'll take.

you to take over a 1000000 mile of us cable so districts want to one east is investigating what it means for the future of the south station. on al-jazeera. to say just say and it's time for a different approach one that is going to challenge the way you think i'm asking

the questions now is your new host on the next season of the show that's got no space for sound bites only comedy so let's leave simplicity to the headlines join me as i take on the last dismantle the misconceptions and debate the contradictions . on marc lamont hill and. start me get up from right here and now does it. talk to al jazeera. and you tell me what the government you represent is now illegitimate and we listen we do not sell the fence material any country the conflict in yemen we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on syria. there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice i mean when i was

a child my that's never be afraid to put your hand up not a question and i think that's what our series really does he asks the question should people do should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. i'm challenger in london the top stories on al-jazeera the un human rights investigator on me and says the country's military has murdered at least 70 people seizing power and perpetrated offenses that may constitute crimes against humanity the rights expert is calling for multilateral sanctions against military leadership the military has rejected the report credible reports indicate it may have security forces should murdered at least 70 people usually horrible truth that as soon as it usually.
