US imposed sanctions on firms profiting from Uyghur Muslim slavery in China’s “Cotton Gulags”

85% of China’s cotton is from Uyghur Muslim province of Xinjiang

Brands @Nike @hm @Burberry @CalvinKlein @adidas are accused of ignoring this for 2 years

Fashion firms to be shamed for using Xi’s ‘cotton gulag’

Xinjiang, the homeland of the Uighurs in western China, is largely cut off from outside eyes, but there is growing evidence that dark events within its closed territory overshadow the British high

“China is responsible for about a fifth of global cotton & yarn production, the majority of which is in Xinjiang”

I might be wearing clothes made by Uyghur Muslim slaves held in the worst concentration camps seen since WWII

“One-fifth of the world’s tomatoes are exported from Xinjiang, mainly in the form of tomato paste, destined for ketchup, sauces and pizza toppings used in kitchens and restaurants across Europe and America”

I feel sick to my stomach

Here is a list of US companies that currently profit from 1-2 million Uigurs in slave labourers concentration camps
