🚨While a former Chinese police officer has come forward with undeniable evidence of the Uyghur genocide, Chinese representatives at the UN slandered UZDM President @Dolkun_Isa—labelling him a “separatist” and “terrorist” for raising the Uyghur issue at the forum.

It is inconceivable to witness members of our community having to still live in constant darkness. Disappeared for simply being siblings of Uyghur advocate @Dolkun_Isa. It is incumbent on us to call for their release!

📆50 days to go until the International Uyghur Forum! If you’d like to participate, please fill out the form on the IUF website. internationaluyghurforum.org

📌Today, we mark the birthday of #YalkunIsa—a teacher, a brother, and one of the many Uyghurs whose life has been taken by enforced disappearance. Yalkun Isa, the brother of @Dolkun_Isa, UZDM President and former @UyghurCongress President, is believed to be serving a 20-year sentence on fabricated charges—punished not for a crime, but because of his brother’s peaceful advocacy. Birthdays are meant to be celebrated with family. For the Isa family, it is another painful reminder of absence. We remember Yalkun Isa today—and we demand his immediate release.

UZDM President @Dolkun_Isa this week in New York at 🇺🇳 proving that Uyghur voices will never be silenced!

Our WUC and @uzdm_ev delegation had very productive meetings today, both at the 🇫🇷 Senate and National Assembly. The delegation met with Senator @antoinetteguhl , Senator @yannickjadot and Senator @Senateur_Salmon and thanked them for their public support on the Uyghur issue and briefed them on recent developments in East Turkistan.

🇫🇷Today in Paris, UZDM President and @uyghurcongress team met with long-time supporter @faureolivier During the meeting, UZDM President @Dolkun_Isa, presented a French-language copy of his book.

新闻发布：世维会前主席，维吾尔人权与民主组织主席@Dolkun_Isa先生，在其兄弟胡什塔尔·艾沙（Hushtar Isa）生日之际，以UZDM名义呼吁文明世界就其俩兄弟(Hushtar Isa, Yalkun Isa)遭遇强制失踪一事要求中国政府给出交代 #释放艾沙兄弟 #释放胡什塔尔艾沙 #释放亚尔昆艾沙 uzdm.de/2026/03/23/ten…

10 years without answers for family members. It is inhumane. Release all those detained!

Thank you @EnginEroglu_FW for your continuous support!!!

Dolkun Isa is a leading advocate for the rights of the #Uyghurs, who are being systematically oppressed by the Chinese state apparatus. To this day, their relatives have received no official information as to whether they are still alive.

According to unofficial reports, Hushtar Isa was sentenced to life imprisonment and Yalkun Isa to 20 years in prison. And this on the basis of politically motivated and fabricated charges.

On March 24, 2016, Hushtar and Yalkun Isa were arrested and forcibly abducted by the Chinese authorities. It was Hushtar Isa’s birthday and an act of retaliation for the peaceful advocacy of their brother, @Dolkun_Isa.
