In closing for our program to Lusophone countries, Rahima Mahmut reads a moving poem from imprisoned Uyghur writer Gulnisa Imin. 'There is much more that I still ask from life'.
WUC UK-Director & Stop Uyghur Genocide ED, Rahima Mahmut 'believes it is the responsibility of people living in democratic countries like the UK to speak out freely on behalf of those who fear their safety. The CCP's biggest worry is the people who fight openly against the regime.'
'For Rahima Mahmut, UK Director of the World Uyghur Congress, Executive Director of Stop Uyghur Genocide and Uyghur activist, singer and translator, this solidarity has more than a practical purpose.'

The Chinese state says it protects freedom of religion and that Uyghurs and others still celebrate Ramadan in Xinjiang. But that wasn’t what David Rennie 任大伟 saw when he visited. Listen to our “Drum Tower” podcast econ.st/4baCMPC 🎧
'Lawmakers have also called for a ban on the sale and use of security cameras made by Hikvision and Dahua, two partly state-owned Chinese firms, over privacy fears'
🚨China's actions in the UK have shown they are a huge threat to British values!

Too right Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office should demand answers
It should summon #Djibouti & #China Ambassadors; demarche them; and consider sanctions
The treatment of Tim Loughton MP 🇺🇦 is unacceptable

U.S. Uyghur Caucus introduces the Uyghur Genocide Accountability & Sanctions Act
'This bill seeks to punish Chinese officials who are involved in the genocide and crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese government...” -Rushan Abbas

MP Tim Loughton MP 🇺🇦 detained and deported by African country with close links to China. Former minister sanctioned by Beijing believes his expulsion from Djibouti was a ‘direct consequence’ of his criticism of the Chinese regime. Shocking treatment.
'Mr Loughton is one of seven parliamentarians sanctioned by the Chinese more than three years ago for speaking out against the “industrial scale” of human rights abuses by China against the Uighurs, Tibetans and Hong Kongers.'
