AI Summary
This resolution, passed by the General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, condemns the People's Republic of China's treatment of the Uyghur ethnic group, a predominantly Muslim minority residing in western China. The resolution highlights that since 2017, China has reportedly responded to the Uyghurs' adherence to their traditional Islamic religion with repressive mistreatment, including the internment of over one million Uyghurs in what are described as concentration camps, despite China's requirement for religions to align with state subservience. This action is taken in recognition of New Jersey's commitment to religious freedom, as enshrined in its constitution, and its identity as a diverse and inclusive state. The resolution also directs that copies be sent to relevant U.S. and international officials.
