The fate of the Uyghurs unites government and opposition factions in the German Bundestag. Derya Tuerk-Nachbaur (SPD), Peter Heidt (FDP), Boris Mijatović (Greens), Michael Brand and Norbert Altenkamp (both CDU) belong to the core group of MPs who want to raise awareness of the situation in Xinjiang province. Tuerk-Nachbaur spoke of a „creeping genocide before our eyes.“ Even former UN Human Rights Commissioner Michelle Bachelet spoke of „ongoing crimes against humanity“ in Xinjiang.
