CAIR welcomes US ban on imports from 5 Chinese companies over Uyghur forced labor
Aug 09, 2024The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today welcomed a US ban on imports from five Chinese companies over their alleged involvement in Uyghur slave labor.
The companies include Hong Kong-based Rare Earth Magnesium Technology Group Holdings and its parent, Century Sunshine Group Holdings, which manufacture magnesium fertilizer and magnesium alloy products. Also included is Zijin Mining Group Co subsidiary Xinjiang Habahe Ashele Copper Co, which mines nonferrous metals. The companies were added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, which restricts imports tied to the ongoing Uyghur genocide.
“We thank the government for taking action against entities profiting from the genocide and enslavement of Uyghur Muslims,” said CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. “Just as it has opposed the Uyghur genocide, we urge the Biden administration to change course and take action to end US support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.”
