Free Zhanargul Zhumatai 📢

Yesterday in a two min video call my parents saw my brother unrecognizable and lost huge weight; he looked like a skull. Don’t tell me China is not commuting genocide; The victims in concentration camps are starved to death. He asked my parents to stay alive before he gets out.

Here's the biggest journalism thing I've ever done. It's a @Wired feature on @IPVM, a small publication that stumbled on a huge story: the world's leading #surveillance-camera company used #AI to help China persecute #Uyghurs. Peep some of the key bits🧵 wired.com/story/surveill…

Happy Passover to Jewish friends! The Jewish community has stood shoulder to shoulder with the #Uyghur community to end the Uyghur genocide. We appreciate them for their dedication and commitment. Let’s continue this fight together and stronger!

Only if Emmanuel Macron has met young #Uyghurs, who are held in concentration camps for their desire to learn foreign languages, their own language, or visit Western nations. What's that scene like? It seems the friendship between China and France excludes the Uyghurs.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the PRC’s imprisonment of Ekpar Asat in Xinjiang. I remain concerned about Ekpar’s well-being and call on the PRC to release him and all other arbitrarily detained prisoners in the Xinjiang region.

Today marks 7 years since Ekpar Asat’s detention. Ekpar has had nearly no contact with the outside world, is being held far from his family, and his health has deteriorated dangerously. On this dark anniversary we call on China to release all those unjustly detained in Xinjiang.

A new Uyghur Human Rights Project report, "No Time to Lose: Uyghurs Stuck in the United States Asylum System", highlights the dire situation of as many as 1,000 #Uyghurs that are caught up in the 🇺🇸 asylum system, leading to significant stress and anxiety. uhrp.org/report/no-time…

I appreciate U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue for being concerned about Ekpar's health. 7 years have not been easy for our family. I hope he does everything in his power to bring Ekpar home.

Over 4 months passed since Kamile’s detention and she is still missing. Neither the local police station nor her college pick up my calls anymore. Thus, I am asking some friends to send letters to the school or police station. Below is one of them in Chinese. DM me for address.

Dear friends, Xinjiang Victims Database is doing an incredible job documenting atrocities. I am going to set up a monthly donation. Even if it is 10 dollars, it can contribute a lot. Could you please support this independent group? They are running out of funds. shahit.biz/eng/#1734

Four blank paper protesters in Beijing, Cao Zhixin, Zhai Dengrui, Li Siqi, and Li Yuanjing have reportedly been released. But there is no news so far of the Uyghur girl Kamile Wayit.

19-year-old Kamile Wayit won’t be spending Eid with loved ones. We are concerned by her detention by the People’s Republic of China, and we call on the PRC to ensure respect for her human rights and fundamental freedoms, including all fair trial guarantees, and to immediately and

#Uyghur poet Tahir Hamut Izgil watched as his friends disappeared into China's camps. He knew his turn would come soon. Then he escaped. Now, in this searing, powerful, beautifully written memoir, Tahir shares his story with the world. My translation out Aug 1 fr penguinpress.

Breaking News! The UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued an opinion determining the unjust detention of my brother #EkparAsat, #GulshenAbbas, and Qurban Mamut is arbitrary. It ordered China to free victims and fully investigate rights violation & compensate victims.

My dad was arbitrarily detained a month before his 50th birthday. Today is his 55th birthday, yet I still don't even know where he is. Think how it feels if its your father. Again, I appeal to consciousness of you, #Chinese gov Chinese Mission to UN and world for his freedom

I am proud to see a Uyghur parliament member in Japan. I hope Uyghurs not only change Chinese dictatorship, but also contribute their own hosting countries

A great cause to support. Please donate to bring Uyghur families to Canada.

Today is my father’s birthday. He is 55. I just learned that my father was sentenced to 16 years in prison. My uncle Emet Yaqup (60) was sentenced to life imprisonment. Uncle-in-law Yaqup Sherol (72) was sentenced to 15 years. They are all victims of the #UyghurGenocide
