We are proud to announce our publication of a White Paper identifying the violations of international law, as well as Chinese constitutional and criminal law, perpetrated by the PRC in persecuting Huseyin Celil. See here & join us in the pursuit of justice raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en/the-centre/…

This leaked list of over 10,000 #Uighur detainees sheds light on whereabouts of missing members of several families. In Canada, we continue seeking answers for #Huseyin #Celil, a missing Uighur Canadian forcefully returned to China in 2006 after fleeing. france24.com/en/video/20220…

"Yet, while 16 years have gone by since #Huseyin #Celil's imprisonment, the #Canadian #government has failed to establish a single consular visit or inquiry into his circumstances." #Uyghur #Rights A powerful piece by Aliya Behar and @NicolasKamran: ottawacitizen.com/opinion/behar-…

The Wallenberg Advocacy Group (Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights) at McGill University Faculty of Law (McGill Faculty of Law | Faculté de droit) published a White Paper on the persecution of Huseyin Celil. Huseyin Celil, a #Canadian, has been imprisoned in China for the past 16 years. Enough is enough. raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en/the-centre/…

#Huseyin #Celil’s heartbreaking story is the epitome of the #Uyghur struggle. He is a #Canadian who has advocated for the Uyghur community long before the world realized the #persecution that is happening. He has been detained in #China since 2006 – simply because he is Uyghur.

It has been 16 years & counting (5925 days) since "Uzbek authorities detained #Celil pursuant to a notice for his detention created by the Chinese government. He was barred from communicating with family or #Canadian officials." - Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights's White Paper recognizecelil.com

"Celil continued his #advocacy for the #rights of #Uyghurs in #Canada, where he educated #Canadians about his community’s #culture, #religion, and continuous #persecution."

"#Canadian #Uyghur-rights activist #Huseyin #Celil, whose case I took up as a parliamentarian in 2006 when he was first abducted and arbitrarily detained, has been imprisoned for 16 years, and has effectively been “forcibly disappeared.”" Irwin Cotler theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
