on his feet after that. ah ah, ah ah ah, i anthony ok. you're watching the stream for several years now. china's week as have been complaining about discriminatory treatment. we 1st heard news of allegations about detention camps for week as back in 2018. now, according to united nations, an estimated 1000000 wiggers are detained and when challenged about these detention camps, china described the facilities as vocational training centers. in the united kingdom

this month, an independent tribunal decided that the treatment of china's wiggers should be called genocide. he is the tribunals, chair, said jeffrey, nice with more evidence from witnesses. fact witnesses heard of the tribunals hearings in june and september, which was largely accepted by the tribunal show that ends in jang at the hands of some part or parts of the p r. c. government and the ccp, hundreds of thousands of acres with some estimates well in excess of a 1000000 have been detained by p. r. seals are his without any on a remote, please sufficient reason and subjected to acts of unconscionable cruelty depravity and inhumanity. detainees were forced to provide blood samples and subjected to other medical testing for no disclosed reason. pregnant women in detention centers

and outside were forced to have abortions, even at the very last stages of pregnancy. in the course of attempted abortions, babies were sometimes born alive, but then killed. that was one examples international action as far as the treatment of weakness are concerned in the know for some part of china. what other international action might well change the future of the we get people? that is the question for today's episode of the stream. if you have a comment, you have a question for a line up, please let us know. but in the comment section on youtube, so let's meet our panel. hello to jo. ha, hello to mom at john and hello to more to get to have you here on the stream. i jo, how welcome back to the stream. please remind out what is who you are, what you do. thank you very much for having me again, found me, and my name is jo harl hum. i am an author, a human rights advocate. i am also the force labor project coordinator at the

worker rights consortium. get to have you. i'm at john. always get to see you on the street. we wanna audience, hey you all what you day. thank you very much for having me here today. and if i mentioned you, i work for radio free asia as a deputy director of waco service. we cover china related news. thank you robert jennifer donio to get on the stream. and how will i to get to have you please introduce yourself to our international audience. thank you for having me here. i am a good. i am a project researcher at over transitional justice database. it's an ongoing project that focuses on the registration of disappeared and extrajudicial intern, or groups and other target people. yes, i want to start with this. you k independent tribunal? what difference does it make if an independent tribunal says what is happening to china as we goes? that is janice. i jo, how you start?

well 1st of all, it's when i 1st heard this, the decision of the announcement of the decision by that we were tribunal. as an we were individual, i didn't know whether i should cry or smile. it is diff, deeply saddening for us to hear that genocide is happening to my people. but i also was i was grateful to see that such decision was made when hundreds of thousands of our we were brothers and sisters are going through all tide's types of torture. and sufferings in by the chinese government. and even though the weaver tribunal does not hold and enforcement power, but it is and you should be acknowledged at because of its intellectual moral credibility. and i really hope that the decision that announced with the following the tribunals decision, it will bring up more attention awareness on this issue. and also, it can encourage more government entities to put on an action on this matter

because it is government jobs, their responsibility to stop genocide, water help us understand how the try boy bruno use the information that you were able to gather as part of your organization. you were an expert witness. what did you bring to the tribunal? yes, i was invited as an expert witness to the leverage i be due to a report which we, which our team have released this year. and i was a co author of the annual report. so what we were presented in regards to the testimony collection part was that we have to approach for provided a statistic. we have registered a total of $6285.00 testimony. so people who are missing detained in camps sentenced into prison, or died in the re education cabs. we have also worked with satellite imagery

research. our team has documented feature locations of 234 medication cam. so $257.00 prison. there are some horrible findings among the statistics reform. doug's $147.00 camps have forced labor factories inside or near the potential to say which is which means that we suspect that they are involved in force labor and read it also find that $42.00 camps have crew material located with thing tension on the truth, we have shared this findings with the independent investigators from a ready for asia, for example, and by confirmed some of the materials located in actually city. and we did also find that there is a few cam who as, which is located next to an atomic laboratory in room to city. and we therefore suspect that those camps might have connections with 4th organ harvesting. so this

is what i presented at the tribe, you know, that's really shocking material that i want to share something with my, my john, this is from global times, which is a state china paper publication. they described this yreka tribunal as a fall fits being staged in the west. what do you make of that reaction moment, john? china's response to this tribunal and other international actions. so campaigns always the same. so instead of giving, providing any substantial bottle, criticize, or personal attack, the organizers, for example, they attack human rights advocates as well as the lawyers. for example, jeffrey night, jeff night, sir. jeffy, nice as a spy, instead of showing what parts of their findings were incorrect. so

china cetera bottles like this baseless and always they do it as an attack instead of showing any kind of counter arguments, legitimate counter arguments. it's not surprising at all. so i'm going to bring in a new voice into conversation in this comes from the public affairs officer of east took a stand use congress is name is amena cash salary. and he said you didn't know whether to be happy or sad about what these tribunals found. out i genocide, this is i'm analysis response, have a listen and then react to the video regarding the tribunal and other court actions in china. we encourage you to see all atrocity happening in east turkey as an ongoing colonial process. ambition of the chinese regime. illuminate everyone and anyone who has non chinese enough or their definition so they can have

a control up the territory agree with a lot of things bad. he just mention that many we are his have been forced to suffer from, from chinese government, reach him under different types of agree just him rights abuses because of their identity. and it's really finding to see that it, it has been happening and it's still continuing. and governance around the world need to put on ashen, immediately to stop this from keep happening. i'd like to address one more point if i can have to i'd like to just address that about the harassment which the weaknesses happened facing during the hearings. i remember the 3 cause witnesses who arrived from cuz i'm done prior to the hearing stopped. they've been receiving phone calls from because i started stay scripts, state security services,

trucking and down to not to testify. besides, the chinese minister of foreign affairs held a stucco purse conferences using the family members of the weaknesses who were given evidence to undermine the testimonies. and one of the fact weaknesses actually had a video perhaps than the official for men's truth twitter page. her husband described her story as nonsense and even after the hearing, the chinese authorities have called the family members of all. we were like weaknesses. and they held a press conference, forcing down to denounced their family members are liars, and even churchhouse. the conference center was put under pressure to not to hold this event. so we can see that the brutality of this government, they know no bonds and they will do everything in order to support their narrative denying that there's a problem. and they really tried their best to make it look like it's all made up.

and they, i think the metric that they've been using are extremely despicable to be a state. yes, it is despicable anymore. they also attack some legal survivors, such as towards my door, and then i'm going to have been speaking about speaking about their treatment in the camps for how they were treated and how the weaker campaign mates were tortured rate system, adequate electric shocks and poetry. and instead of counter countering them with evidence, china attacked them, morling attacked their personal character, described them liars, and immoral people. so that's how the attack actually happens. guess what i feel is different about the conversation that we're having now, not the real estate allegations and the experiences of we have been caught up in china's program of either force lebo or of these. the detention camps

is that the knowledge is out that before we were trying to get this knowledge out there, we're not doing here is here's where no fresh china is here or where the detention comes. we're already talking about this is if our audience knows all about it, let's talk about some of the international pressure that is not about this independent tribunal. for instance, the upcoming beijing olympics. if you know a lot of activity about that, and should it be boy cottage that the diplomatic boy caught, i'm going to ask you to take off your filter. joe. ha, honestly, a duplicate boy call. what does i even mean? how helpful is that? what diplomatic boycott means by the country that announced the magic cut will not send any officials to attack. i didn't mean what does that mean? what does it mean to we? yes, it's great to hear it's very heart warming to see that there are so far around 7

countries that had announced diplomatic boycotts today. belgium just also joined the list of, of boycotting at the olympics boy cut a boy cutting the lympics diplomatically. but we want to see concrete measures and we want to see that this, this boy, i can also send a message to athletes around the world as well. do they want to compete in countries that are committing genocide towards a group of people? and also i also hope that this diplomatic, we can send a message to corporate, corporate corporations around the world. they want to sponsor that are supporting the genocide. and there are some human rights activists and human rights organizations. they are calling a full blown boycott because they think that diplomatic, but god doesn't have any to. so it's symbolic, but it is still better than nothing but should be done as well as

kind of also economically as well as full blown by con, my impact kind of decision against can i can i shavers thought was, this comes from run a perverse. he's a professor of law mcgill university. he sent this to us a little bit earlier to add to our conversation about the impact of even a diplomatic boy court of the upcoming winter olympics. here is so generally speaking, the best approach he's to mainstream human rights to make it a part of a relation that a government has with a china. so economic relations boycotting some goods, produced by wiggle was absolutely. but also the dramatic boycotts of the olympics. i think is a very interesting and effective approach trying to present and manner my call says that they would not join because it was merely symbolic. and that in fact is

exactly the point, the olympics or symbolic. they are part of germany as claim to be a central power in the world. so a diplomatic boy, god symbolically challenges fac claim. yes, i agree. i agree that because united states government and now it's china is coming genocide. and at the same time, if they send anybody medic, representation to china, so that would be supporting or legitimizing their actions against the leaders and also negating their decisions before the made in january. so it's a good decision. and many countries, at least 7 countries followed. yes, but according to the human rights activists and organizations and some other governments, for example, they also contemplating full blown protocol and we, we want to see that as well. for example, this writer david class,

he wrote that because of the international community failed. the 1936 fairly lympics that emboldened hitler and at the end o 60000000 innocent used their lives. so had it been stopped or pressured, the german government and turn their course this, this holocaust wouldn't have happened. so this author argues that there is a lot, a lot of parallel. so at the time, many western countries had a lot of economic interests in germany. so they didn't issue any full blown boycott at the time. so they're having the same interest right now. so maybe that's why they're not really boycotting dylan pick fully. that's the argument. so this kind of argument has been there since this year that you can see

a lot of places. i totally agree. i think 1st of all, china shouldn't be hosting this game. they olympics are an expression of freedom jr, a competition and respect. and i think china's behavior does not represent any of those qualities. and instead they're carrying out to genocide. and we're actually allowing the world's highest profile event to be used to sports wash, genocide regimes, reputation. oh, i think the international olympic committee should be blamed for the situation actually, because they decided to allocate the winter games in gene, even though they knew that there's serious crimes have been committed by the chinese regime and student standing up for their own principals. the international olympic committee have chosen to keep their golden money on track. and i think in terms of the fact of the diplomatic way cut,

it will be more efficient if more and more countries participates. and that's in the us to project like a campaign. oh, okay. yes, i will. country stood already. i have so many new questions for you. guess. are you ready? all right, we're going to be the very fond of it so we can get as many in as possible. i'm going to start with the cheap coleman. go straight to a law maker in the u. s. call monica rubio, and then come back to you guess so. standby for this. cuba who's watching on line now. thank you. the only thing i'm wondering is whether or not using economic pressure is actually useful sanctions a use all the time. yet besides doing it besides doing economic damage, they never seem to get much else done. okay, that's one view from youtube. here is monica rubio, with what he's hoping to do legally in the united states regarding force labor,

have a listen havoc after months of working on this and negotiation or having to play a little hard mall, my weaker force labor prevention act is, is going to become law, it's a common sense bill that says if you make things in, she's young, then you need to prove that there is no slave labor involved in making it before you can bring that stuff into the united states. in other words, the proof is now on the businesses dot, the burdens on them to show that they opt, that they are not operating using these work camps. and if you can't prove it, then your product doesn't in the united states, it's that simple. so i hope an urge president biden to sign the bill into law immediately. it's time to end our economic addiction to china, and that starts by cracking down on slave labor. joe, i'll go ahead and yesterday at the house and senate finally made an agreement on the language of the of the, of this bill. and i can't wait for it to be passed up completely. and that's only the 1st step. the most vital step is been enforcement without enforcement then it's me well has not been just talk. yes. and if the bill can actually be passed by

december by december 31st and of this year, that means by next summer, there will be no products made by that we've region by the week where people will be allowed entering the us as long as, as, except they can prove it that it's with clear evidence that it's not made like we were forced labor and i can't wait for that to happen. i so many more questions on you cheap. all right, more to this one's coming to you florida says, i think the world has already felt the week as they haven't been able to stop the c . c p. you'll thoughts briefly yes, i think we were activists around the world have been doing so much to stop this genocide . this is shorter taste and the launch of the tribunal diplomatic boy culture of the region lympics and the forced labor prevention act and so much more. and however, we do not see that the character closed. it's still there and there are still

people reporting about their missing family members, and the recent report on people being killed during interrogation. and those camp and international brands are still benefiting from for we were forced labor. so this means that we have a lot more to do and the 1st labor production act and the verdict of the order tribunal gives us hope it's. it means that we're not alone in the fight. i'm, i'm, i'm going to bring in this thought here. this one is for you, ma'am. at john, it comes from the feet who is very sympathetic towards the chinese authorities. china is treated unfairly. sion janet protects the freedom of travel of people, of, or ethnic groups, including the weaknesses and their communication with overseas relatives, according to the law. i know that guess here, i know that is not true a far as your relatives are concerned, but have

a listen here to the chinese foreign ministry who is pushing back on the sanctions that were just applied by the u. s. and then malick jan. pick up off the back. here we go. sure. on that you've got we are telling the united states that the chinese government is unwavering and its determination to defend national sovereignty, security and development interests. we are unwavering in our determination to combat violence, terrorism separatism, and religious extremists forces. we are unwavering in our determination to oppose any external interference in chin. jones affairs or china's internal affairs. the perverse actions of the united states cannot destroy the overall shape of shing jan's. development, stop china's progress or reverse the trend of historical development. we urge the u . s. to immediately withdraw the relevant wrong decision and stop interfering in china's internal affairs and harming china's interest. if the u. s. ox recklessly, china will take effect of measures to strike back resolutely. alrighty doesn't sound like china is acknowledging any of the external pressure that is being

applied regarding the treatment of the weakest in a sentence. so at the end of the show, how would you respond? and has been denying, for example, when we covered the detain many weeks at least 120000 waiters in car. and before that they denied they had the internment camps, they call it. and after they interact with international pressure and international law, news media reports, they admitted they had this camps and be called it occasional vocational schools or a training center job training center. and then right now we have found out that there are indeed concentration camps. so it might take some time for china to really admit what they're doing in, in a region is wrong, and they're committing genocide and i'm going to give them one more voice. because that question i asked, what is the point this time at respond is onset by this my no voice in our

conversation, haven't even have we know for a fact that inclination pressure really works. this is the only way that will stop china from continuing to come in. gender site again is to we were people. this pressure may not immediately change the conditions on the ground, but it is putting chain out on defensive. first, they deny everything makes the change the subject, and now they often forced to defend their atrocities for the government, the un and in front of the whole world. we need to continue pressure from all sides . it is the only way to bring genocide plant. thank you guess for helping us understand the situation with the we has in china right now in the, in total, an external pressure that is being applied. joe. ha,

ma'am at john, am or tom, i appreciate you being part of the strain today and on you tube. your questions were very helpful. thank you for having that conversation with us. hey, on the stream. i'll see you next time. thanks watching everybody take ah ah. i've come back to sarajevo to revisit the fascinating part of calcium history. they were crazy, creative, even visionary. they were top lesta naturalists. i was them as a child during and just pops into what people still love them. it was basically too

less than 2 days. and i'm afraid we're also seeing the inevitable increase.
