Anti-Slavery International
In written evidence to the UK’s Environmental Audit Committee, we urge the Committee to recognise and assess the risk of the use of forced labour of Uyghurs and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples in the solar industry and energy storage technology industries, and to develop recommendations which map out a pathway for how the UK Government can support the UK solar industry to develop a truly ‘clean’ industry, which does not rely on the systemic forced labour of persecuted communities.
