A group of Uyghurs, their families, and advocates reached out to Disney to discuss the company’s friendly relationship with Beijing and its decision to shoot a film in the province where the CCP is oppressing the country’s Muslim minority. But while Disney initially agreed to meet, the company “suddenly cut off the correspondence” and have since “evaded meeting with victims of the Uyghur genocide,” according to a Tuesday letter from the lawmakers to Disney CEO Robert Iger, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. …

“Disney publicly praised Chinese Communist Party agencies committing genocide and then privately scorned their victims,” Banks told the Free Beacon. “It’s time for Disney to own up to its mistakes and make amends.”
