Rugby star follows Ozil

New Zealand rugby superstar Sonny Bill Williams followed Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil in criticising China’s treatment of its Uighur minority yesterday, while lamenting that some had chosen money over “humanity”.

As the fallout from Ozil’s condemnation of China’s crackdown on Muslim minorities continues, Williams -- a double rugby union World Cup winner with the All Blacks who converted to Islam -- weighed in.
