NGO Speech on 43rd UNHRC about The Japanese Government invites Chinese President Xi Jinping to Japan as a state guest

The Japanese Government invites Chinese President Xi Jinping to Japan as a state guest upon China’s request.

The Chinese Government has trampled upon the peoples’ right of self-determination in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region better known as East Turkistan.  Also, in Tibet, South Mongolia and other ethnic minorities.

It’s been reported within the Uighur Region, the Chinese Government forcibly detained more than one million Uighur people in concentration camps and is undertaking a policy of ethnic cleansing.                                   

Currently in Hong Kong the Chinese Government oppresses the democratic movements.

Around fifteen Japanese are unlawfully in custody within China on charges of allegedly “spying.”
 

Under these circumstances if the Japanese Government invites Chinese President as a state guest and shake hands with the Japanese Emperor it will give the wrong message the international society. Japan won’t tolerate utter disregard of human rights.

We request this Council to recommend the Japanese government;

1. The Japanese Government should cancel the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping as a state guest which he is not welcomed by Japanese people.

We also request this Council to recommend the Chinese government;

1. The Chinese Government should duly observe the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and faithfully fulfill the recommendations made by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

2. Release 15 Japanese people detained unlawfully.

3. Release Uyghur people who are detained in the concentration camps immediately.

Madam Vice President, do you think over one million Uyghurs committed crimes?

Are they terrorists? We don’t think so.

I thank you very much Madam Vice President.
