Restrictive measures have been introduced against top officials in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
Following EU sanctions against Chinese officials for violating the rights of the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were brought in by the UK, the USA and Canada.
Thus, London imposed sanctions on four Chinese officials and one organization. Chen Mingguo, head of the public security department of Xinjiang, member of the party committee, head of the political and legal commission of this region, Wang Mingshan, deputy secretary of the Xinjiang party committee Wang Junzheng, as well as deputy chairman of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress Zhu Hailun were subject to restrictions. The sanctions also apply to the Xinjiang Construction and Production Building.
Similar sanctions were imposed by Canada, and two Chinese officials were included in the US blacklist.
“Today’s actions by the Treasury complement the steps taken by the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada, which imposed sanctions against these and other individuals,” the US Treasury said.
US sanctions are imposed as part of the Magnitsky Global Human Rights Act.
The imposed sanctions provide for the blocking of all property or property rights of persons included in the list on the territory of the named countries. Also, individuals and legal entities of the United States are prohibited from entering into any transactions with those on the list.
As reported, in response to EU sanctions China will impose restrictive measures against 10 people and four legal entities.
EU head of diplomacy Josep Borrell called China’s decision unacceptable. “These measures are regrettable and unacceptable. The European Union will not change its commitment to protecting human rights,” he said.
As you know, the Chinese authorities are accused of reprisals against the Uighurs in Xinjiang. In January, the United States became the first country to name actions China against Uighurs by genocide… Beijing denies all charges.
