One thought on “MP Viersen honoured for human rights advocacy

  1. Why is MP Arnold Viersen receiving an award from the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project in support of the resettlement of Uyghur refugees fleeing ongoing genocide perpetrated by China when very clearly it was a Liberal MP and his motion in the House of Commons on February 1, 2023 that acknowledged this? What is wrong with you Arnold in taking credit for this project?

    The motion in the house of Commons was a liberal motion brought forth by a liberal MP. Here’s the proof.
