Question 32608 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Taché alerts the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the pressure and threats exerted by China against members of the Uighur community on French territory. Indeed, if the policies of forced sterilization, internment in work camps, widespread surveillance and destruction of Uyghur cultural heritage begin to provoke reactions and condemnations and strong actions are obviously to be carried out in the direction of China to put an end to these abuses, the enterprise of persecution of the Uighurs carried out by Beijing does not stop at the borders of Xinjiang. The Uighur diaspora is the subject of constant and relentless tracking, all over the world and even in France. Indeed, it has been proven that members of the Uighur community who are refugees, exiles and residing abroad and particularly in France are the targets of a shameful policy of intimidation and close surveillance by the Chinese regime. Threats to families remaining in the country, repeated phone calls, suspicious packages, here are just a few examples of the harassment suffered by French Uyghurs as well as members of this community who have been able to find refuge in France. The Uyghurs of France live in fear, under the eye of Beijing! However, it is the duty of France to ensure, to each individual that the country welcomes, the guarantee of having their rights and integrity protected against any form of threat and interference emanating from a foreign power. It is a question of respect for the rights inherent to every human person, namely freedom, security and resistance to oppression, which we must guarantee. It is also a diplomatic issue, a question of international relations, because it is sovereignty itself that is threatened when a foreign power is capable of oppression and surveillance even on national territory. Thus, he asks whether means will be put in place to shed light on the nature and extent of the practices of intimidation, tracking and surveillance perpetrated by China - particularly through its embassy - against the Uighur community in France. He also asks what specific protection measures are being considered to protect the victims of these abuses, which constitute serious violations of the fundamental rights of Uyghurs on French territory.
