Samsung is one of the many corporate giants whose supply chains have been linked to the Chinese government's forced labour schemes which conscript Uyghurs and other Muslim-majority ethnic groups from the region.

THREAD 🧡

Yesterday we were proud to stand alongside so many different allies, all united by the need to defeat the appalling #AntiRefugeeBill #BordersBill and win sanctuary and equality for everyone fleeing tyranny & persecution, including Uyghurs.

Why does this matter? [1]
Imagine you escaped the abuse and persecution in East Turkestan / Xinjiang. You found a home in, say, Egypt, where you rebuilt your life.

In 2017 Egyptian cops rounded up dozens of Uyghurs for deportation to China (qz.com/africa/1028546…), so you fled to Turkey. [2]
Despite the Turkish government's rhetoric of support for Uyghurs, you were not given secure refugee status or residency, and you struggled to access work or healthcare. Nevertheless you began rebuilding your life in a new place, for the second time. [3] foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/02/why…

Listening to @robertsreport speak about his new book with @j_smithfinley, drawing the parallels between China's colonialism in East Turkestan, and European powers' colonial exploits.

Consistent opposition to imperialism means supporting the #Uyghurs' struggle for freedom.
The hypocrisy of the PRC state is stark - it poses as "anti-imperialist" and "socialist" - yet having inherited an empire from historic China, it refuses to acknowledge the right to self-determination of the indigenous peoples dominated by that empire.
Right-wing hawks in western powers take note - @robertsreport points out how the rhetoric and logic of the US-led "War On Terror" enabled, aided and legitimised China's racist repression of the #Uyghurs.

APPLE is one of many giant corporations with supply chains linked to the Chinese state's Uyghur forced labour schemes.

Join the protest from home 2pm Tuesday 14/4! Contact Apple by phone, twitter & insta to demand an end to #AppleForcedLabour.

Stand in solidarity: #FreeUyghurs! Image
Please share this πŸ‘† far & wide! Next Tuesday, let's flood their phone lines and social media with the call to cut ties with forced labour.

And remember - it's Apple's bosses who are responsible, not call centre workers, so please be polite!

#AppleForcedLabour #FreeUyghurs
The labour programmes coercively transfer members of the persecuted Uyghur minority to factories across China.

These include O-Film, #Foxconn, Dongguan Yidong Electronics & Highbroad - all connected to Apple's supply chain: aspi.org.au/report/uyghurs… #appleforcedlabour #freeuyghurs ImageImage
