Listen to what this son and daughter have to say about their dad who is currently in a Chinese concentration camp.

These are the children of one man. There are over 1 million other innocent Uyghur mothers and fathers being held indefinitely in concentration camps in China.
The CCP shot a man, not to kill him, but to immobilize him. What killed him was a surgeon cutting out his liver and kidneys while he was still alive.

This is just one of the things that happens to Uyghurs at the concentration camps in China.
3/ These are some of the kids who were separated from their families in 2020 because their parents were sent to Chinese concentration camps.

These children were also sent to camps where they are stripped of their ethnic identity through years of brainwashing and indoctrination.
