At a recent protest, we learned about Kalbinur Sidik, who has both experienced and been a witness to many of the atrocities perpetuated by the Chinese government in #EastTurkistan. A film about her experiences, "Eyes of the Machine," recently premiered in Amsterdam.

New report from the Uyghur Human Rights Project about how the Chinese party-state systematically disrupts communication between the Uyghur diaspora and their families in East Turkistan
"The separation of Uyghur families is neither incidental nor temporary, but rather a deliberate strategy of transnational repression."

A Uyghur perspective on UN Resolution 2758
"The decision codified “China” as a single, indivisible entity—an act that validated Beijing’s territorial claims and erased alternative sovereignties from the international imagination."

China is promoting Xinjiang as a tourist destination, but tourists only see a sanitised version of life in the region
"It's not my place to tell people not to visit, but they need to realise that what they experience there is a whitewashed version of [Xinjiang]," said Uyghur-American activist Irade Kashgary

The Australian Uyghur Tangritagh Women’s Association (AUTWA) is taking legal action against retailer Kmart over concerns about the use of forced labour in its supply chain
The case highlights problems in Australia's Modern Slavery Act. The act requires companies to report on their supply chains but imposes no penalty if they fail to report

@EugeneMcParland One of these days I will look up the translation of the "Kim regime anthem" lyrics...
In their second procreator state, the CCP's China (the first procreators were Stalin's USSR), the regime taunts its voiceless subjects with prose like "Arise ye who refuse to be slaves..."
And when they arise against the CCP dictatorship they're mowed down by the thousand like in Tiananmen Square...
#Tibet, #SouthMongolia, #EastTurkistan, #HongKong... all crushed if they dare arise against their enslavement.

Our April 2025 protest took place on Yom HaShoah, a day when people who died during the #Holocaust are remembered. We said "Never again!" to #genocide as we protested the Chinese government's genocide of its #Uyghur population.

@hanse_mina Here's an idea: Starting May 1st 2025,
#1 Anyone engaged in the invasion of a friendly democracy will receive a *lifetime* ban from *all democracies*.
#2 Anyone involved in the war effort will receive 25 year ban from *all democracies*. (applies to manufacturing, propaganda etc.)
Why? I don't want to see a single ruzzian invader unless its through the sights...
This might even deter recruitment... even if just a little bit.
Also the Chinese CCP subjects might have something to think about. (Also apply it to CCP's military that is currently occupying China's and *Tibet's* neighbours.
Perhaps this ban should be applied to all regime enforcers of dictatorships if only to make those 'jobs' less appealing...

Our #protests outside the Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC attract a wide variety of people, including this handsome young man. We appreciate his commitment to protesting against the Chinese government's ongoing #genocide of the Uyghurs in East Turkistan (a.k.a. #Xinjiang).

In January, we once again protested in the dark and cold outside the Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC, demanding an end to the Chinese government's #genocide of the #Uyghur population of #Xinjiang (a.k.a. #EastTurkistan or #EastTurkestan). During our #protest, we read about four Uyghurs who are imprisoned in China, and read two poems by Uyghurs.

The Chinese government maintains severe restrictions on Uyghur people travelling abroad and on Uyghur diaspora returning to visit their families
"Through these controlled visits and tours, the Chinese government has continued to control the Uyghur diaspora, some of whom stay silent or shun activism and even Uyghur cultural activities in hopes of resuming contact with their families and visiting the region."

The CCP doesn't just rewrite history, it prevents it from ever being written
"Continuing to whitewash and doctor the historical record will inevitably form the foundation of the CCP’s future propaganda strategy on East Turkistan."

On this third anniversary of Uyghur Genocide Recognition Day, we recognize Xi Jinping, without whom this would not have happened. We ask all who care about human rights and oppose genocide -- governments, businesses, religious organizations, and civil society -- to stand up for Uyghurs and end ongoing complicity with Xi Jinping's China.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Thank you for recommending this powerful #memoir. Hoya speaks lovingly of #Uyghur society, culture and homeland and the ruthlessness of #China's theft of Uyghur land and resources and criminalizing and illegal detention. It's classic #settlerColonialism, #settlerViolence, and #genocide still happening in #EastTurkistan. As I read I think of Huseyin Celil, a Uyghur and #Canadian citizen disappeared in China for almost 20 years now.

R to @benedictrogers: Spot-on. Something that needs to be learned in #XiJinping's #CCP #China, #Tibet, #HongKong, #EastTurkistan, #Russia, #Myanmar, #NorthKorea, #Iran and all over the world. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1742673440186700166#m

Great piece - Often see #Israel-based groups present at #climate & #environment conferences, promoting this "greenwashing."
Now, my question is - why does the same not apply for #China, who is also #greenwashing its occupation of #Tibet & #EastTurkistan (#Xinjiang), including using #forcedlabor in #solar & #EV #cleantech supply chains?
Some of the same groups calling out Israel @#COP26 for #Gaza are the same ones ignoring China's #humanrights crimes.

@Deus @[email protected] The biggest importers of Indonesian palm oil is actually China and India. #Paperpulp exports, which are linked to even more #humanrights abuses, are almost all destined for #China.
btw I block #genocide deniers - doesn't matter if they're denying what's happening in #Gaza or #Tibet and #EastTurkistan / #Xinjiang, or elsewhere.

Incidentally #Uyghurs, the predominantly muslim turkic people being genocided by the settler-colonialist #dictatorship of #China, are famous for their delectable watermelons... 🍉
Apparently the expansive Arab-islamic cause — famous since the 7th century — and specifically its #Palestine branch is more righteous than Uyghurs' right to their one and only ancestral land. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Chinese really could just withdraw their settlers who all have their precious ancestral homes in actual China.
The #Jews of #Israel have at least tried, at times, sharing their ancestral lands with the Arabs who settled after their exodus, right?
I do wonder why one struggle gets called #genocide while the one-sided eradication of a people in Central Asia doesn't. 🧐

☝️ The *victims* of the regime might be forgiven (option not available inside the empire) if they fail to appreciate the scattered unofficial nostalgia for a leading supporting cadre who served as the Party's 'premier' for a decade while, well, 'stuff' kept happening to them.
Maybe, just maybe comrade Li would have been less extreme as the supreme leader, but isn't that entire point moot since all he really ended up *doing* was rubberstamping the #XiJinping's policies we've all come to love and appreciate?
The #PRC/#CCP stopped "biding time" a decade ago and comrade Li was right in the middle of it as supreme leader's number 2.

“Rahile's story cuts deep with the vindictiveness with which Beijing has erased Uyghur culture. Her only crime was to be an anthropologist. When authorities detained Rahile, they also sent bulldozers to demolish the 1000-year old historical town she spent her life studying. ”

☝️ #Callamard & friends' callous #whataboutism and wilful misrepresentation of reality wrt. #russia's openly genocidal invasion of #Ukraine may sadly have reduced #AmnestyInternational's standing in the eyes of many #humanrights campaigners and supporters.
#Uighurs suffering #genocide under #lebensraum #colonialism of russia's 'no limits' ally #China deserve the support of all peoples lucky enough not to face state-planned eradication.
Perhaps Amnesty ought to reconsider their leadership representation to restore much needed credibility.

China's genocidal occupation of Tibet is of course the ultimate act of violence against #Tibetans.
A final solution after millenia of coexistance, not to mention the treaty of *eternal peace* signed in 822 after Tibetans had had enough and invaded Chang'an, the capital of Tang dynasty.
But, it also an act of grave violence against India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma. All of these countries have suffered the loss of historic cultural, religious and economic exchanges with a friendly neighbour, only to be replaced by a hostile and military-expansionist Chinese #dictatorship.
The #Uighurs and (South) #Mongolians to the north have suffered that loss too, but they have a singular *far*more immediate worry as like Tibetans they too are marked for eradication by the CCP's Han-nationalist imperial regime.
Ideally the Chinese people themselves would end this nightmare, not only for all the Han peoples but also those repressed neighbours whose fate will forever be a stain on that previously civilized civilization, just like #nazism will remain on #german peoples' record.
Chinese peoples still have a closing window to reverse course before CCP's imperial projects become irreversible...

⚠️ 🇨🇳 #CCP is striking hard to homogenize all colonized 'minorities' (in their own homelands) in the image of #chinese #HomoJinguspingus 👇️
China bans book about the early history of the Mongolian people
https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/mongolian-book-banned-09032023090748.html「Chinese authorities have banned a book on the history of the Mongols, citing "historical nihilism" – a term indicating a version of history not in keeping with the official party line – in what appeared to be a concerted attack by Beijing on ethnic Mongolians' identity.」
「Xi vowed to double down on China’s hardline policies toward the 11 million mostly Muslim Uyghurs who live in the region, warning that "hard-won social stability" would remain the top priority, along with making everyone speak Mandarin rather than their own languages.
And his warnings seemed to apply to other regions, too. "Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is a focus of .. all work in areas with large ethnic minority populations," Xi said」
「Ethnic Mongolians, who make up almost 20 percent of Inner Mongolia's population of 23 million, increasingly complain of widespread environmental destruction and unfair development policies in the region, as well as ongoing attempts to target their traditional culture.
Clashes between Chinese state-backed mining or forestry companies and herding communities are common in the region, which borders the independent country of Mongolia, with those who complain about the loss of their grazing lands frequently targeted for harassment, beatings, and detention by the authorities.」
「At the start of the academic year in 2020, China announced it would end Mongolian-medium instruction in schools, prompting angry protests and a wide-ranging crackdown across the region.」
