Uyghurs appeal to world leaders coinciding with the convening of the United Nations General Assembly
Activists from the Uyghur Muslim community in Istanbul made an urgent appeal to world leaders coinciding with the convening of the United Nations General Assembly, calling for immediate intervention to stop “Chinese violations in East Turkestan (Xinjiang).”
The director of the East Turkistan News Agency, Abdul Warith Abdul Khaliq, said that millions are still in Nazi camps, while violations continue through the policy of killing by starvation, under the pretext of preventing the spread of the disease (Corona), locking people in their homes, closing many areas, preventing food aid from reaching closed areas and not providing humanitarian aid.
He referred to what the people of East Turkestan published on the Chinese communication sites of heart-rending video clips, and to show the real tragedies experienced by the Turkestan people.
For his part, a member of the Union of East Turkestan Scholars, Abdul Salam Qarim, said, “We cannot talk about human rights or the values of international justice, and this is evidenced by the report issued by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights this month on the humanitarian crimes committed by China.”
He continued, “The people of Turkestan are a Muslim people who are subjected to genocide and are fighting for their human identity. Every aspect of Islam is in the crosshairs of hatred, and a victim of Chinese crime.”
“To stop these crimes, we demand world leaders stand by the oppressed people of East Turkestan, we also call on international institutions and demand the UN Security Council to activate the relevant articles, to prevent genocide and ethnic and cultural cleansing in East Turkestan,” he added.
