June 30, 2020 The topic of forced sterilization and abortion practices against the Uyghurs and other minorities in the Xinjiang region, "have been raised several times with the Chinese high-level authorities and in international forums. If the practice of forced sterilization was confirmed, in what constitutes a serious human rights violation, then it will have to be stopped immediately and those responsible will have to be brought to justice. "So a spokeswoman for the EU Commission. 

The same spokeswoman then reiterated the request to China to allow "independent observers to carry out inspections and conduct them transparently and objectively".

Pompeo, China ceased forced sterilization Uiguri
The US calls on China to end "forced" sterilization and abortion practices against the Uyghurs and other minorities in the Xinjiang region "reported" yesterday in the study of German researcher Adrian Zenz, and urge "all other nations to join states United in calling for an end to these dehumanizing abuses. " Revelations that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called "shocking". 

The new controversy is triggered by the study of German researcher Adrian Zenz, based on a mix of official regional data, political documents and interviews with women from ethnic minorities from Xinjiang. According to his investigation, Uyghur women and other ethnic minorities undergo forced sterilization and are threatened with internment in the labor camps if they refuse to abort when the unborn child exceeds the legal quota of births, that is two per family. Those who have less than two have usually been forced to accept the intrauterine spiral. In some rural minority communities, women undergo frequent mandatory gynecological visits and pregnancy tests every two months. China, Zenz writes, appears to be using coercive birth control in Xinjiang "as part of a broader ethnic-racial domination action plan."   

"These findings raise serious concerns if Beijing's policies in Xinjiang do not represent, in fundamental terms, what could be characterized as a demographic campaign of genocide according to the UN definition," continues the study. For China, these are baseless accusations.
