US Muslim groups boycott Hilton over #Uyghur mosque hotel project
#BoycottHilton
dailysabah.com/world/americas…
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other organizations held a news conference Thursday outside the Capital Hilton in Washington announcing the boycott campaign. Speaking at a news conference in Virginia CAIR said that attempts to negotiate with the hotel group
to cancel the building plans had gone “to no avail.”
“Today, we are announcing a global boycott campaign against Hilton,” Nihad Awad executive director of CAIR said. “You and I have the choice to choose where to go on your travel or to do business meetings or to hold events, weddings or banquets,” he added,
emphasizing that the plan for construction violates human rights and destroys Uyghur culture and faith.
