Community calls on Irish leaders to put human rights before trade deals with China
On February 17, as China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Dublin for high-level meetings, IUCA and members of the Uyghur community held a peaceful demonstration outside the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The protest sent a clear message:
🗣️ Ireland must not remain silent on genocide, forced labour, and human rights abuses against the Uyghur people.
IUCA urged Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris to make human rights a non-negotiable pillar of any diplomatic engagement with China. Silence is complicity.
