Dutch parliament passes motion calling China's treatment of Uyghurs 'a genocide'
The Dutch Parliament passed a motion Thursday calling China's treatment of the Uyghur people genocide.
"A genocide on the Uighur minority is occurring in China," the motion said, Reuters reported. The nonbinding motion is the first to be passed by a European country.
Although China denies the accusation, a growing number of countries are beginning to believe and officially declare that the actions taken against the Uyghurs amount to genocide.
Both the United States and Canada have declared it a genocide with activists saying more than a million Uyghurs have been sent to camps and tortured in Xinjiang.
