Thread by Erkin Sidick: How many Uyghurs will die in the current process of China’s ethnic eradication? China reported Uyghur population was 11.3 million (2015 & 2017, have proof), and “6 or 7 million” (see the video below, starting 2:40). 1/n

Some intellectuals among the Uyghur diaspora have estimate Uyghur population was more than 18 million before 2017. Following the official line of China, no less than 4 million Uyghurs will die, unless the international community do something soon. 2/n

Killing the Uyghurs by organ harvesting, by using in biological experiments, by distributed killing in remote areas of Gansu provinces, by torture and other means in prisons and jails had started several years ago. 3/n

Now new dimensions have been added: Starvation and coronavirus infection in homes, concentration camps and prisons. “Never Again” is happening again, and the world is watching in silence. #SaveUyghurs 4/n
