I am grateful to the church for providing us with the opportunity to discuss this important matter and share the work we are doing to address it. It was great to see so many Crowborough residents as well as visitors from all over Wealden join us and attend to learn more about the plight of the Uyghur people and my ongoing campaign for the world to recognise what is going on in Xinjiang as genocide and hold the CCP to account."
