Uyghurs residing in Turkey have taken a stand against China’s human rights abuses in Xinjiang province, with a new Amnesty International report corroborating these abuses as “crimes against humanity,” reported the Daily Asian Age.
The East Turkestan Government in Exile has issued an urgent plea to the 78th UN General Assembly and its member states, calling for immediate and decisive action to stop China’s ongoing genocide against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic peoples.
Ghulam Yaghma, President of the East Turkestan Government-in-Exile (ETGE), emphasised, “China’s ongoing genocide in East Turkestan is arguably the most pressing humanitarian crisis of our time. The international community’s deafening silence and inaction betray not only the Uyghurs but also our shared human conscience,” according to the Daily Asian Age.
Since 2014, China’s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in East Turkestan have included the mass internment of over three million Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in a network of concentration camps, prisons, and slave labour camps. Yaghma’s statement also pointed out that China’s genocide extends to forced labour, sterilisations, cultural erasure, assimilation efforts, the separation of nearly one million Uyghur children from their families, state-sanctioned rape, and the suppression of religious freedom.
