A member of the Uyghur community holds a placard as she joins a demonstration to call on the British parliament to vote to recognise alleged persecution of China's Muslim minority Uyghur people as genocide and crimes against humanity in London on April 22, 2021. - Lawmakers in the British Parliament will on April 22 debate a motion on alleged human rights abuses and persecution of China's Muslim Uyghur minority in the country's Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Last month Britain accused China of "gross human rights violations" against the Uyghur minority after Beijing slapped sanctions on UK lawmakers and lobby groups, widening a rift with Western powers over alleged abuses in Xinjiang.
