For ten years, entrepreneur and philanthropist Ekpar Asat has been unjustly imprisoned in #China because he is a #Uyghur.
No one should suffer like this. Send a message urging the director for prisons in #Xinjiang to release Ekpar immediately

I read an article from the UN's human rights' high commisioner's office about UN officials criticizing forced labout of Chinese minorities like the Uyghur and Khazaks. #China #Uyghur #ChineseMinorities #ChineseWorkCulture #HumanRights ##ForcedLabor

Human rights group Voices Switzerland is conducting workshops to teach Uyghurs and #Tibetans in Switzerland how to protect themselves against tactics Chinese agents might use.

Swiss rights group @voices-ngo.bsky.social is training #Uyghur and #Tibetan communities to recognise & resist Chinese #transnationalrepression — from #surveillance & intimidation to cyber spying. Critics say #Switzerland still isn’t doing enough to protect these communities. archive.is/IUOeX
From protest to crackdown, the 1990 #BarinUprising reshaped #Beijing’s approach to Xinjiang and the #Uyghur population.
Three decades on, its legacy continues to define the region.

中國全國人大會議本月通過的《民族團結進步促進法》，原定7月才正式生效，但在新疆、西藏已經搶先執行，當地商戶近日開始清走招牌上原有的維吾爾文或藏文，原本並排的少數民族文字，如今被迫「跪低」放在漢字下方，甚至直接消失。香港人擔憂的廣東話，會否成為下一個被消滅的目標？

This #Ramadan, as I sit down with a hot bowl of #LentilSoup and freshly made #Uyghur #noodles to break my day-long fast, I try very hard not to think about my father, thousands of miles away, in a prison, and what he does not get to eat, and if he even knows it is his favorite time of the year.
A thoughtful article by a Uyghur as he misses a father imprisoned by China alongside hundreds of thousands of fellow Muslims "just for being who they are". #China #Uyghur

#China completely dominates #Mongolia & brutally suppressed an #Uyghur rebellion in #Xinjiang by putting ~1 Million Uyghurs in concentration camps. Many women there complained of receiving injections after which their periods stopped.
In the 1960’s #Mao brutally suppressed unrest in #Tibet.

And UFLPA stands for … anyone, anyone? Enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act, signed into law by Joe Biden in 2021, appears to be on the wane. Since Donald Trump returned to office last year, his administration has not added any Chinese companies to a blacklist of firms suspected of using Uyghur forced labor. “There is absolutely no practical reason why we should not have seen hundreds of companies added,” one Biden administration official tells Noah Berman. U.S. inspection rates and seizures of Chinese exports possibly made by Uyghur prisoners also fell dramatically in 2025 compared to Biden’s last year in office. Source: The Wire

The silent #genocide of minorities in #China continues by forbidding to teach native languages like #Cantonese #Uyghur and #Tibetan. Destroying more value and culturele capital than they will ever gain. Only #Mandarin is allowed. Cruel, against human rights and Soooo stupid. I support the minority!

A horrifying aspect of China's repression of Uyghurs is that other countries cooperate with it. When a #Uyghur fled from #China to #Cambodia, only to be enslaved by scammers, the Cambodian authorities who "rescued" him sent him back to China!

#YalqunRozi is serving a 15-year sentence handed down by 🇨🇳 authorities in 2018 for “inciting subversion.” A renowned scholar, critic, and #Uyghur culture and language textbook editor, he became a target of the #XiJinping govt’s campaign to erase ethnic minority identities.

Exceptional analysis from @doublethinklab.bsky.social & Athena Tong:
China is set to pass a landmark law mandating Mandarin as the main language of instruction for ethnic minorities, part of Xi Jinping’s #Sinicisation drive. Critics warn it will accelerate the decline of #Tibetan, #Uyghur & #Mongolian cultures & tighten controls on dissent. www.ft.com/content/94be...
