‘’We are deeply appreciative of his brave action against China’s ongoing atrocities against the Uyghur people. It is very meaningful for Uyghurs, we will never forget his strong support in times of crisis’’ said WUC President @Dolkun_Isa

PRESS RELEASE:

In an effort to undermine the work of the WUC, the Chinese govt has increasingly directly attacked the WUC in its propaganda, spread disinformation, targeted the family of WUC President @Dolkun_Isa and made veiled threats.

uyghurcongress.org/en/press-relea…
@Dolkun_Isa Since Dec 2019, Chinese govt mouthpieces & propaganda outlets published at least 4 articles spreading disinfo & lies about the work of the WUC & directly attacking/defaming the WUC & WUC President @Dolkun_Isa.
@Dolkun_Isa Articles published by the English-language propaganda mouthpiece, @globaltimesnews, published two propaganda pieces, while apparently made veiled threats to the WUC by explicitly describing the address and exterior of the WUC headquarters in Munich.

The @Europarl_EN held a debate about the situation in #EastTurkistan, hours after Ilham Tohti was honoured with the #SakharovPrize.

EU High Rep for Foreign Affairs @JosepBorrellF spoke first, noting the EU's deep concern & the active role it has played in addressing the issue.
@Europarl_EN @JosepBorrellF "We ask China to allow access to these camps and allow those detained to be released. They have been detained simply for following their religious beliefs or expressing their opinions."

- MEP Isabel Wiseler-Lima @iwiseler
@Europarl_EN @JosepBorrellF @iwiseler “All mass detention centres must be shut and perpetrators of the massive human rights abuses must be brought to justice. We also expect that the EU is ready to adopt targeted sanctions against those responsible.”

- MEP @KatiPiri
