Tell Apple to stop supporting the genocide against Uyghur Muslims in China!
It has been correctly defined as a genocide in which, so far, anywhere between 1 and 2 million innocent Uyghurs have been locked in internment camps. While forced into captivity, they have been subjected to countless human rights violations — they are physically and sexually abused, deprived of food for prolonged periods of time, forced to speak Mandarin instead of their own Uyghur, many women are chemically sterilized, and an untold number of them have lost their lives.
One of the main groups behind the nightmares in Xinjiang is the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) — and the U.S. company Apple has recently come under fire for directly supporting them by hosting over a dozen apps created by XPCC. Sign the petition to demand that Apple openly condemn the genocide and breaks all ties with XPCC immediately!
The horrific violence in the name of Uyghur eradiction by the XPCC is well known to the United States — so well known, in fact, that the U.S. Department of Treasury imposed sanctions on the group, barring any U.S. group from working with them. But apparently, Apple doesn't think this applies to them, nor do they seem to care why the sanctions were put in place to begin with. Namely, to discourage the wiping out of an entire ethnic group of people. Sign the petition to urge Apple to do the right thing and stop supporting XPCC!

When I hear people in the UK complaining about lockdown, or our government, or anything they choose to find fault with, I am reminded of how bad some peoples lives are and how the simplest of things to us - means the world to another, and when you hear of this kind of government led genocide and nothing is done, then it puts a lot into perspective and it is hoped, those in the west will stop their bitching and give thanks and get their finger out for someone else for a change and offer some help.
