You can sense attention turning away. Many have decided Afghanistan is in the past. Others reduce it to attacking or defending Western govts or refugees. So few want to engage with our humanitarian + development obligations to poor + vulnerable people still there. #itsnotaboutus
The UK is failing to fulfil its obligations to tens of thousands of Afghan civilians who have worked alongside the UK- in the grounds that they are technically “sub-contractors” - all this is shameful https://t.co/NbZJqffpXj
This is a decisive moment for human rights, and one many are hoping to be followed by a substantive plan to help end the suffering of Uighur Muslims. I am proud our representatives have taken this crucial step forward #CallItGenocide#UyghurGenocide
And see how your MP voted on the clause to help stop the UK signing trade deals with genocidal states here https://t.co/ja97R6C9mU #GenocideAmendment#Uighurs
The willful ignorance of alleged genocide and grave human rights abuses in China and elsewhere must stop, we will not sell out our values for trade deals with genocidal states. #GenocideAmendment
Today's rebellion shows the Govt can't ignore calls to bring genocide cases before UK courts. We'll continue to work on this amendment, considering all points MPs made today. I hope the @UKHouseofLords will ensure an improved amendment returns to the @HouseofCommons
Several UK retailers have already banned cotton from Xinjiang due to concerns of #Uighur#Muslim forced labour. We're calling MPs to support the cross-party #genocide amendment to the trade bill - read our full briefing here

Let’s see if parliament upholds Human Rights in tomorrow’s vote on the genocide amendment to UK trade policy. We should all be watching.
