On Thursday, while #XiJinping was inside the #WhiteHouse for a state dinner, a coalition of activists from #China, #HongKong, #Taiwan, #Tibet, and #EastTurkistan (a.k.a. #Xinjiang) marched to the White House and rallied there to call for the Chinese government to respect #HumanRights. Motivated by the #Jewish concept of #TikkunOlam, we joined them for the march and subsequent candlelight vigil in #WashingtonDC's Franklin Park. Together, we are stronger.

The Chinese government is placing heavy restrictions on Uyghur Australians visiting their homeland
This includes surveillance and monitoring while in the Uyghur Region and in some cases being interrogated about activities of the Uyghur community in Australia, according to research by Human Rights Watch

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

In these troubled times we live in, many members of our group are involved with #activism for multiple causes. However, we still make the time to come together and #protest each month outside the #Chinese #embassy in #WashingtonDC, calling for an end to the Chinese government's #genocide of its #Uyghur population.

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 February, we once again protested in the dark outside the Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC, calling upon the Chinese government to end its #genocide of the #Uyghur people of #EastTurkistan (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."

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and dark to attend our final #protest of 2024. We met outside the Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC to demand an end to the Chinese government's #genocide of the #Uyghur population of #Xinjiang (a.k.a. #EastTurkistan or #EastTurkestan). We were honored to be joined by members of the Uyghur community.

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.

#October12, 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of China’s illegal invasion of #EastTurkistan. This somber day marks the beginning of a relentless campaign of genocide, colonization, and oppression against the Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, and other Turkic peoples of East Turkistan.
This occupation is not some localized human rights crisis—it is a deliberate and systemic campaign to erase the identity, culture, and very existence of the people of East Turkistan. #China’s continued policies of mass internment, mass enslavement, forced sterilization, and forced assimilation demonstrates that this is not a series of isolated incidents but a carefully planned genocide.
The East Turkistan National Movement urges the world to reject China’s invented baseless claims and false narrative on East Turkistan. For millenia, East Turkistan existed as a sovereign nation with its own distinct history, culture, and people. The People’s Republic of China’s imperialist colonial claim that East Turkistan is "part of China" has no basis in history or international law. We call on the international community to recognize East Turkistan as an Occupied Country and condemn Chinese occupation and colonization of East Turkistan.
The international community has a responsibility to act. As with other colonial struggles that occurred across Africa and Asia, East Turkistan’s fight for the restoration of its freedom and independence is a legitimate anti-colonial struggle under the principles of international law. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3070 (XXVIII) enshrines the right to self-determination and independence for all peoples under colonial rule.
We call on governments and organizations, including the UN, the @IntlCrimCourt and the @CIJ_ICJ to take action. Chinese officials must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity and genocide in Occupied #EastTurkistan. The global community must not stand by in silence while the people of East Turkistan are systematically exterminated by an occupying colonial regime. Our struggle is for survival, justice, and the restoration of our rightful independence. #UyghurGenocide -
At our protest outside the embassy, we remembered five more individuals who have been imprisoned by the Chinese government. In some cases, they have become deathly ill or died while in custody. We raise up their names and will not forget them. The next four posts in this thread describe the experiences of Abduhelil Obulqasim, Ablikim Kurban, Gulshan Tohti, Abdulsalam Mamat and Yasinjan.

In July 2024, we held our 40th monthly protest outside the Chinese embassy in Washington DC.
Among the shocking facts discussed at the protest is that in at least 2 areas of Xinjiang, Uyghurs are now required to report to the police the names of guests who visit them in their homes for more than a half hour. They must do so within the first 10 minutes of the visit or face consequences, including overnight detention.

The Uyghur Crisis Response Team of Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, DC advocates for an end to the Chinese Communist Party's genocide of the Uyghur population of East Turkistan (Xinjiang) and destruction of the Uyghur culture. We hold monthly protests outside the Chinese embassy and work with others to raise awareness of this ongoing tragedy.

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.

@iamgul8 RT by @badiucao: Currently, the discussion surrounding #EastTurkistan, referred to as #Xinjiang by #China, primarily revolves around #HumanRights violations, diverting attention from the international conflict. #EastTurkistanDay #EastTurkistanDay #UyghurGenocide #UyghurVoicesStrong #Uyghurs https://nitter.hongkongers.net/iamgul8/status/1723732389464285338#m

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.
