The strongest case is for paragraph (d).
- whimsicalism 5y agoIs there a special law targeting Uyghurs? Or are Uyghurs (due to their religion) more likely to have higher birth rates that are in contravention of Chinese two-child law? Another question - does a genocide necessarily require an actual reduction in the population of people being genocided? I do agree that the strongest case is for (d) (or maybe c, actually), especially if Uyghur women are being sterilized with fewer than 2-3 births.
