Lawmakers from 10 countries and the European Union have brought forward proposals concerning a boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in light of the communist regimeโ€™s treatment of the Chinese citizens, primarily the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hong Kongers.

The announcements from representatives in democratic countriesโ€”the United States, United Kingdom, European Parliament, Canada, and other EU membersโ€”supported by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), declared the world โ€œdoes not condone and will not whitewash these ongoing crimesโ€ by the Chinese Communist Party.

A bipartisan resolution (pdf) in the U.S. Congress on Monday urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to โ€œinitiate an emergency search process for alternative replacement facilities for the 2022 games,โ€ submitted by Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.).

Over one million Uyghurs are believed to be imprisoned due to their race, language, or religion, contrary to the Olympic Charter, which stated the sport is โ€œa human rightโ€ that โ€œshall be secured without discrimination of any kind,โ€ according to the resolution.

The 2008 Olympics held in Beijing โ€œwere accompanied by widespread tracking, arrest, and intimidation of foreign journalists and bloggers, as well as restrictions on movement of journalists,โ€ said the statement.

Members who joined the resolution include Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.), Young Kim (R-Calif.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), and Ann Wagner (R-Mo.).

In the UK, an Early Days Motions submitted by MPs Sir Iain Duncan Smith on June 7 states, โ€œthe International Olympic Committeeโ€™s desire to stay above politics does not permit turning a blind eye to mass atrocity crimes.โ€

The motion also called for the IOC to initiate an โ€œemergency search processโ€ for an alternative facility, supported by Siobhain McDonagh of the Labor Party, and Liberal Democrats Alistair Carmichael, Layla Moran, and Wea Hobhouse.
