Breaking!. We just released a new report with the @Yale Macmillan Center Genocide Studies Program. We examine the mass imprisonment of #uyghurs under China’s legalized authoritarian regime, which will cost conservatively the ethnic group over 4.4 million cumulative years of

FI stopped celebrating my birthday, given what's happening to my own #Uyghur community. So many people lost their loved ones and can't celebrate such precious days. I'm thinking about Ekpar and all those imprisoned.

Argentina's high court took a bold step for global justice by extending its jurisdiction to prosecute responsible Chinese officials for the #Uyghur genocide & other crimes. The decision offers much-needed hope for the Uyghurs. @SophieDRich & I explained.

Another #Uyghur mother died while China forcibly separated Omer from his mom. He did not know for years whether she was alive, in the camp, or outside. I have no words, @OmerFaruh8111, other than to express profound sorrow for what you and your family have endured. The loss is.

Since 2017, I’ve heard nothing from my mother. Today, I found out she died — no goodbye, no last words. My two daughters, both Turkish citizens, are still missing. China’s oppression stole my family. How long will the world stay silent?. #UyghurGenocide #ChinaOppression

The West’s complicity in atrocity crimes is unraveling the foundations of international law. Israel’s deliberate starvation of the Palestinians, esp innocent children, has reached a new level. Aid is blocked. UN agencies equipped to respond are vilified. Silence is enabling this.

The genocide against #Uyghurs is fueled by an atrocity economy. China’s oil thirst draws from the Tarim Basin, linking resource exploitation to ethnic cleansing. Economic dispossession of #Uyghurs from their own land & resources is core to #genocide.

The Chinese government is boosting domestic production and the EV industry in the name of national security. There are 14 million chargers nationwide.

It’s funny watching some Westerners’ attitudes towards Chinese people and Muslim people. They hate Chinese, they hate Muslims. Yet somehow, they really “care about” Chinese Muslims. #ZohranMamdani #NewYork #Palestine
