No calls for investigations into the murder of Uyghurs Muslim scholar Abdul Ahad Khaddam inside Chinese jails.. No one cares about the suffering of Muslims😢

Last week, @AUTWA4, Human Rights Law Centre & Maurice Blackburn Lawyers went to court to demand accountability from @Kmart. No company should profit from forced labour. Australian companies must come clean about their suppliers and connections to Uyghur forced labour.

Uyghurs who were on these tours reported being forced to take part in propaganda activities, such as being provided a script – with pinyin, or phonetic, notations for those not fluent in Mandarin Chinese – praising the Communist Party for its policies. hrw.org/news/2025/02/0…

Chinese government organized another propaganda tour for Uyghurs. Why 1) do they need such program to reunite with their loved ones? 2) have they not been able visit home for a decade? 3) is Beijing making a big fuss about it? I interviewed such Uyghurs👇 news.qq.com/rain/a/2026010…

Excruciating to know Ekpar is spending another (9) birthday in China’s prison camp. While preaching “international law,” Beijing is defying a @UN decision calling for Elpar’s unconditional release. From Iran to Egypt to Belarus, authoritarian governments have freed political prisoners—China chooses torture and impunity.

At today’s emergency meeting on Venezuela, Denmark called for deescalation, dialogue and respect for int law, incl. principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Uyghur entrepreneur Ekpar Asat, founder of Bagdax forum, has been detained and unjustly imprisoned by Chinese authorities since April 2016. Today, he celebrates his 9th birthday behind bars. Beijing should release Asat and all political prisoners immediately and unconditionally.

#JimmyLai will almost certainly be convicted in a matter of hours. The UK government has allowed him to pay the price for their failures.

Despite Beijing's efforts to whitewash its crimes against humanity in the region, @LauravMegen was able to capture shuttered mosques, severe surveillance, and still-functioning mega detention facilities in her latest visit to the Uyghur region for @NOS. youtube.com/watch?v=Ta2dyB…

Check out the essay by Akide in @KashgarTimes, an important journalistic platform. At times, we need urgent reporting on the fire situation in our homeland, and give them a follow.

Prominent Uyghur scholar Rahile Dawut has been imprisoned for eight years. Secretly sentenced to life, she is one of countless victims of Beijing's crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. Authorities should end atrocities and free those unjustly imprisoned. hrw.org/news/2023/09/2…

His court date is set for Monday. Let’s make sure they can’t sweep this under the rug.

We’re LIVE in Parliament marking 4 years since the Uyghur Tribunal’s genocide verdict — follow this thread to stay up to date for powerful moments. #UyghurTribunal @MahmutRahima @UyghurCongress @AppgUyghurs @HumanTraffFdn

Just like in China, the word “terrorism” has lost all its meaning.

On this Human Rights Day, I am thinking of my most handsome, intelligent, and kind brother, along with all other victims who are languishing in China’s notorious prison camps. The EU today called for his unconditional release. No country can trump China’s cruelty. It's been almost 10 years since the atrocity began. Innocent people, especially older people who cannot make sense of why they are reduced to this level of inhumane treatment, are dying. Who in today’s 21st century can fathom the atrocity of this magnitude and prolonged detention without due process against every norm? A handful of individuals, after reaching critical conditions, are released and are gone from this world a few days later. Only after opening Assad’s prisons did the world see the dark horrors that happened behind the walls of Syria’s prisons. Do we wait until decades later, when the Chinese prison walls may fall? The chance of that scenario happening is very slim as Chinese people can not resist in the Orwellian state, and many in the China watching community, especially those who benefited from the decades of engagement, view the atrocity crimes as a nuisance to their own self-interests. They prefer things to return to normalcy so that they continue to profit from Chinese market.

Distinguished international criminal lawyer Sir Geoffrey Nice KC, lead prosecutor at the trial of Slobodan Milošević; Matthew P. Robertson @mpr0010, researcher at the Australian National University specialising in Chinese politics; and Wayne Jordash KC @WayneJordash, President of @GRC_HumanRights, held a panel discussion on allegations of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China and global responsibilities in countering this ongoing atrocity.

Many RFA journalists put themselves at risk to report for audiences who lack access to trustworthy news. As we pause our editorial operations today, we re-present stories from those journalists, recorded in March, about the meaning of their work. rfa.org/english/world/…

British universities have become completely dependent on Chinese money, leading to academics and institutions kowtowing towards China and its views. The influx of money originating from China is stifling free speech and debate on China’s human rights abuses. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… The UK government needs to do more to make sure that universities are spending their funds in line with British interests, not Beijing’s.
