Biography
Zhu, who is a member of China's ethnic
On 9 July 2020, US Secretary of State
On 22 March 2021, Zhu was sanctioned by the European Union and the United Kingdom. The Council cited his involvement in the internment camps in Xinjiang, noting that "as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region (2016 to 2019), Zhu Hailun was responsible for maintaining internal security and law enforcement in the XUAR. As such, he held a key political position in charge of overseeing and implementing a large-scale surveillance, detention and indoctrination programme targeting Uyghurs and people from other Muslim ethnic minorities. Zhu Hailun has been described as the 'architect' of this programme. He is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in China, in particular large-scale arbitrary detentions inflicted upon Uyghurs and people from other Muslim ethnic minorities." As a second reason for adding him to the sanctions list, the EU added that "as Deputy Head of the 13th People’s Congress of the XUAR (2019 to February 2021), Zhu Hailun continued to exercise a decisive influence in the XUAR where the large-scale surveillance, detention and indoctrination programme targeting Uyghurs and people from other Muslim ethnic minorities continues."[9][10][11][12]
Zhu is also on the Canadian Consolidated Sanctions List. [13]
