<p>The UK has sanctioned four Chinese officials and one Government entity under the
Global Human Rights sanctions regime. These individuals/entity were designated in
March 2021 in coordination with international partners. They were designated for enforcing
repressive security policies across many areas of Xinjiang which amount to violations
of the right not to be subject to torture or cruel inhuman or degrading treatment
or punishment. These measures were taken alongside the US, Canada and the EU, sending
a clear message to the Chinese Government that the international community will not
turn a blind eye to such serious and systematic violations of basic human rights.</p>
