My people, the uyghur people are being exiled just for speaking out about basic human rights in China, so many of my own relatives and family friends back in China are being held as prisoner by Chinese authorities for absolutely the craziest reasons. Not just my friend and family, but more than 1 million uyghurs are held prisoner. The uyghur people back in China are forbidden to travel to other countries or they face injustified arrests, the rich and knowledgeable uyghurs are also being detained and having their righteously earn money taken away by the Chinese government. Uyghurs who practice Islam, uyghurs who practices our OWN cultural celebrations, uyghurs who speak or parents who have their kids educate in an uyghur speaking schools are being thrown into prisions.

Tell me what did we do to deserve any of this by China, we are in fact a peaceful nation, who don’t want any less freedom than other humans living in China, and we can’t even have that. Some people say that that’s what happens when you go against your government… but I want to say that the Chinese Communist Party is detaining Uyghur into reeducation camps just like what hitler, all the way back in 1940, we live in the 21 century, the year 2018, and still the Uyghur people are being killed and stripped from any light of freedom.

We are humans, we have families, friends, people who we care deeply about, but we are being treated like nothing, and being brutally taken by the Chinese authorities. The uyghur issue is not just a simple human rights issue. It should be taken into action immediately, people are dying without no one in this world knowing. It’s actually sad that nobody on the face of this earth recognizes Uyghurs.

Frontline episode on Uyghurs in China

“Uyghurs are not considered human by the Chinese government,” says an engineer who helped build surveillance tools in China — which he says the Communist regime uses to gather data on the Uyghur Muslim population.

When you stand against China,“ Uighur writer and poet Abdurehim Imin Parach says, "you are a threat wherever you are.”

China’s government considers many members of the Uighur ethnic minority to be “terrorists” and “separatists.” It has imprisoned them on a mass scale and has turned Xinjiang into one of the world’s most tightly controlled police states.

As a result, many Uighurs have fled to Turkey, which they have traditionally viewed as a refuge and an advocate for their rights. Now, many Uighurs in Istanbul tell NPR they fear China is pressuring Turkey to threaten them.
