In Doha, Qatar attending Doha Forum 2024.

As we celebrate #Thanksgiving  today, CFU would like to express our undying gratitude to all of our allies, donors, & partners who make our struggle for the #Uyghurs possible! It is because of them, Uyghurs one day live in a world where they’ll be free! #HappyThanksgiving!

Spoke to Josh Rogin for the @washingtonpost.com on CCP’s crackdown on #HongKong: “Xi is taking the first step to shape the U.S.-China narrative and discourse before the new U.S. admininistration comes in…That’s a big middle finger to the U.S., to both the Biden and the Trump administrations.”

CFU's ED @RushanAbbas, @UyghurCongress' former President @Dolkun_Isa & @CUyghurstudy's ED @AHakimIdris have arrived in #Halifax, #Canada to attend the @HFXforum's #HFX2024. The #Uyghurs will join global reps. to discuss pressing threats to world order & democracy, highlighting the #UyghurGenocide.

Join us in #Geneva! www.eventbrite.de/e/stories-of...

It’s outrageous that 45 #HongKong opposition figures—politicians, academics, union leaders, and activists—were sentenced to a total of 245 years and 6 months in prison simply for attempting to run and win in an election! www.bbc.com/news/article...

It was an honor to attend Concordia Forum in Atlanta, Georgia to discuss Uyghur advocacy & human rights. I reflected on the urgent need for Muslim unity in countering autocracy & exposing China’s hypocrisy which claims to support #Muslim causes while waging a war on #Islam in the Uyghur homeland.

U.S. lawmakers gathered on #CapitolHill in #Washington this week to mark “East Turkistan National Day,” the anniversary of two short-lived independent Uyghur states, pledging their support for Uyghurs facing persecution in northwestern #China. www.rfa.org/english/uygh...

Deeply concerned about #China #legal activist #XuZhiyong. Not only is he wrongfully detained, he is also hunger-striking to protest #humanrights violations in prison. Such is #XiJinping’s rule. www.nchrd.org/2024/10/urge...

Congrats to Lynette and DPS on this new report. The proportion of Chinese, Uyghur, Tibetan diaspora respondents who experienced or knew personally someone who faced harassment, intimidation from the CCP is striking. Hope this galvanizes more Canadian gov't response.
