Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar letter to the Royal Thai Embassy, Washington D.C. ambassador, urging not to deport the Uyghurs to China, where they will likely be sent to concentration camps. Any individual facilitating the Chinese Communist Party's genocide should face US sanctions. ⬇️ selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/media/letters/…

The bombastic success of the DeepSeek R1 large language model is a reminder of an overlooked and frightening reality: US tech companies have been handing the AI keys to China for decades. For years, Microsoft and others have been eager for market access to China. In exchange

Government bodies / reps in Thailand have commented: - there's no order to deport the 48 Uyghurs *yet* - the NSC are searching for legal justification - the decision belongs to NSC / top gov. Top government Ing Shin Thaksin Shinawatra กระทรวงการต่างประเทศ | MFA of Thailand have NOT DENIED DEPORTATION. They should.

It isn’t illegal for Americans to choose a paycheck over patriotism, but the U.S. government shouldn’t reward that choice. My latest, in Washington Examiner ⤵️ The fact that someone with prior employment at DJI, a Department of Defense-designated Chinese military company, was hired for

Pleased to see my latest work on the evolution of Xinjiang's mass re-education published in the Journal of Contemporary China. It draws on new internal state files & and a key new witness to assess the evolution of the mass internments between 2013-2018. Link is below.

The plane has landed in Kashgar, but Thai authorities have yet to issue a statement. It remains unclear whether 40, 43, or 48 men are being deported—43 if including three men whose UNHCR refugee certificates (issued in 2013 but cancelled) and 48 if also counting five in prison.

The Reporters RomaDoN Nyrola Absolutely devastating. @FlightRadar24 shows the flight landed at Kashgar airport at 12:09 p.m. local time. Notable that Kashgar airport runs almost exclusively domestic flights, so clearly an anomaly here.

**IPAC STATEMENT ON THE DEPORTATION OF UYGHURS FROM THAILAND TO CHINA** We, the members of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), abhor the Thai government’s refoulement of 40 Uyghur men to China. This action constitutes a flagrant violation of Thailand’s obligations

The Thai government sent dozens of refugees straight into the hands of the CCP’s concentration camps. The world knows exactly what happens to Uyghurs in China: forced labor, torture, sterilization, and extermination. Thailand has a choice to not be on the side of genocide.

The UN is hopelessly corrupt. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency cared more about preserving its Chinese Communist Party funding than about protecting innocent Uyghurs. “Shameful” doesn’t come close to describing the behavior of leadership at UNHCR.

Sorrow and frustration grip Uyghurs and rights advocates as Thailand deports 40 Uyghurs to China, despite U.S. condemnation and rights concerns. Read my latest: voanews.com/amp/sorrow-fru…

At least 40 Uyghurs are sent to China, after a decade long inhumane treatment of the Thai government. Shamelessly. Outrageously. These men asked for help to travel to safe third countries to enjoy freedom that they could not have in China. The world did not save them. 1/5

Polat was among the 40 Uyghurs forcibly sent to China. Chinese and Thai governments claim he is reuniting with his family members. His wife and children are in Turkey. Who is he reuniting with? ⁦Chinese Mission to UN⁩ ⁦กระทรวงการต่างประเทศ | MFA of Thailand⁩ theguardian.com/global-develop…

Beijing is pressuring other governments to send Uyghurs and other groups back to China where they will be subject to torture and enforced disappearances. In response, Department of State will immediately take steps to impose visa restrictions on government officials involved in these

In 2019, Uyghur doctor Gulshan Abbas was sentenced to 20 years in prison after a secret trial--and she remains detained today. The CCP detained Gulshan, on unfounded charges, in an effort to silence her American citizen family in an act of transnational repression. The CCP must

We’re excited to offer both beginner and intermediate Uyghur language courses at George Washington University for Fall 2025! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.

You turned 63 today. Even though I can’t see you or celebrate with you, I carry you with me every single day. You should be home — surrounded by love, not locked away in silence. You are a brilliant woman, a gentle soul. You are innocent and I refuse to let the world forget you.

I’m honored and feel privileged to teach Uyghur language at GW, one of the few universities in the United States and in the world offering Uyghur Studies. Proud to share Uyghur language and culture with both undergrad and graduate students.
