Eight things you can do to help Uyghurs in a time of the genocide

New report claims that Uyghurs living outside china also face harassment

The UHRP advocates the rights of the Uyghur people

China’s campaign against ethnic Uyghurs extends well beyond its borders, with Chinese agents tracking, harassing, and threatening members of the Muslim community in 22 nations, revealed a new report from a rights advocacy group—Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP).

The UHRP advocates the rights of the Uyghur people—Turkic-speaking Muslims from the Central Asian region and the largest population lives in China’s autonomous Xinjiang region.

The 65-page report—titled “‘Your Family Will Suffer’; How China Is Hacking, Surveilling and Intimidating Uyghurs in Liberal Democracies”—published in collaboration with the UHRP, a nonprofit located in Washington, DC, and the academic exchange group Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs, is based on survey data from Uyghurs residing all over the world.

The recently released report adds more than 5,500 warnings and threats to individuals and their families in 22 countries to an already-existing database of surveillance, harassment, and intimidation actions against ethnic Uyghurs.

They surveyed Uyghurs residing in diaspora communities in liberal democracies spanning North America, Asia, and Europe.

A Californian student has researched the Uyghur minority for months. The more he learns, the more he couldn’t just sit around and do nothing. At one of his classes, a teacher gives their students a project to help the community and beyond. He decided to start a fundraiser for the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) to help Uyghur minorities.

“Today I have started my first stream to give a minority a place to live. In a province of a communist country, there lived a minority called the Uyghur which practices a religion of Islam. Throughout the year the communist party persecuted the minority to drop their religion and practice the communist religion. They do it by forcibly putting the minority into internment camps. A small portion of the minority have successfully escaped the province and gone to the free world but most of them have nothing. Because the communist denied that the Uyghur is being persecuted, many countries just classified them as visitors and don’t help them. But there is hope. There is a nonprofit organization called the UHRP that are trying their best to promote the rights of Uyghurs. You can donate to assist the Uyghurs refugees and camp survivors to reach safe haven and provide first-hand testimony. You can also volunteer your time by signing a petition, contacting congress, joining a mailing list, or attending a UHRP (The Uyghur Human Rights Project) event to end forced labor and to condemn the communist party.”

I much appreciate your generosity by donating here.
