Uyghur activist Rahima Mahmut urges UK to investigate forced labour in supply chains
Thursday, 30 January 2025 () Rahima Mahmut, executive director of stop Uyghur genocide, urged the UK parliament's human rights committee to take action against forced labor in UK supply chains, particularly in cotton production linked to China's Xinjiang region. She emphasized that many products from the region are tainted by slave labor. Mahmut’s testimony has prompted widespread calls for accountability, with activists urging the UK to prevent complicity in human rights abuses. Last year, a UK court ruled that businesses importing Uyghur forced labor products face legal risks.
