Sister of imprisoned Uyghur says Beijing Olympics ‘stained with the slave labor of my people'

Human rights activist Rushan Abbas, whose sister is imprisoned in China, discusses the regime's 'genocidal crimes' on 'America Reports.'

A Uyghur activist whose sister was taken by the Chinese government more than three years ago in retaliation for speaking out against genocide told Fox News that the U.S. has a "moral imperative" to boycott the upcoming Beijing Olympics.

The 59-year-old retired medical doctor and sister of Rushan Abbas, a Uyghur American activist, vanished in 2018 less than a week after Rushan condemned China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims at a Washington, D.C. event.

The family was given no information about her whereabouts until 2020, when they learned that she was sentenced to 20 years in prison on false charges, "designed to give the regime impunity, punishing innocent Uyghur people," Abbas told "America Reports."

 "It has been more than 42 months now I have no information on her whereabouts," she said.

With the Beijing Olympics just days away, Abbas is making a final plea to participating countries to boycott the Winter Games and avoid granting legitimacy to China's gross human rights abuses.

"A diplomatic boycott is just a bare minimum, and it has allowed a few other nations the opportunity to firmly stand on the correct side of the history. More nations need to join the coalition and send a unified message to this genocidal regime that we have learned from the mistakes of our past and aim not to repeat them in our future," she said, pointing to "haunting parallels between the Berlin ’36 and the Beijing games that are happening in a few days now.
