What happened
The Parliament of Catalonia adopted a resolution condemning China's systematic persecution of the Uyghur people, noting that over one million Uyghurs have been subjected to forced labor and mass imprisonment. The resolution calls on European Union member states and the European Commission to take concrete diplomatic measures in response to the human rights violations in East Turkistan. It also urges Catalan companies to ensure their supply chains are free from links to forced labor in the region.
