What do Chinese, Indian & Russian governments have in common? They're famous for human & minority rights violations
Posted: 05 Mar 2021, 20:58
Abiy and Isaias supporters are happy that China, Russia & India's comment in UNSC meeting. What do Chinese, Indian & Russian governments have in common? They're known for human rights & minority rights violations and they want to be left alone to carry on violating their citizens' human rights. With their comments in the UNSC meeting, they are practicing the Golden Rule - treating others as you want to be treated 
Let's see HRW descriptions of human rights situations in these countries and some recent news items regarding the three musketeers:
India
Government policies under the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have put marginalized communities, critics of the government, and religious minorities, particularly Muslims, under increasing pressure. In August 2019, the government revoked the constitutional autonomy of India’s only Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir state and split it into two federally governed territories, arbitrarily detaining activists and restricting internet access. Widespread protests broke out in late 2019 over a proposed citizenship verification process, which, combined with discriminatory citizenship law amendments enacted in December 2019, could leave millions of Muslims stateless. The authorities continue to arrest activists, journalists, and other peaceful critics under draconian counterterrorism and sedition laws, but often fail to act against violent BJP supporters or BJP leaders who incite violence. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed India’s vast marginalized populations to increased threats to their health and well-being.

Russia
Today, Russia is more repressive than it has ever been in the post-Soviet era. The authorities crack down on critical media, harass peaceful protesters, engage in smear campaigns against independent groups, and stifle them with fines. Foreign organizations are increasingly banned as “undesirable,” and Russian nationals and organizations are penalized for supposed involvement with them. A new law enables Russian authorities to partially or fully block access to the internet in Russia in the event of undefined “security threats” and gives the government control of the country’s internet traffic, enhancing its capacity to conduct fine-grain censorship. Impunity for egregious abuses by security officials in Chechnya remains rampant.

China
China under the Chinese Communist Party is a one-party authoritarian state that systemically curbs fundamental rights. Under President Xi Jinping, the government has deepened repression at home and sought to muzzle critics abroad. It has arbitrarily detained hundreds of human rights defenders and lawyers, tightened control over civil society, media, and the internet, and deployed invasive surveillance technology. The government imposes particularly heavy-handed control in the ethnic minority regions of Xinjiang and Tibet. Since 2017, authorities in Xinjiang have arbitrarily detained an estimated one million Turkic Muslims. The government is encroaching on Hong Kong’s freedoms, including directly imposing national security legislation on the city. The government’s weeks-long coverup of the Covid-19 outbreak, including silencing health workers, contributed to the global spread of the coronavirus.
