Washington, D.C. [US], November 6 (ANI): The human rights advocacy group Campaign for Uyghurs has issued a strong call to action following the release of the Minority Report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which details the ongoing persecution of Uyghurs in China.
Taking to social media platform X, the organization stated, “The new Minority Report from the House Select Committee on the CCP exposes China’s ongoing genocide against Uyghurs, detailing mass detention, forced labor, and the systematic effort to erase Uyghur identity. Justice for Uyghurs must remain a U.S. strategic priority.”
The Campaign for Uyghurs highlighted several alarming findings confirmed by the report. It outlines mass detention, forced labor, and a systematic effort to erase Uyghur identity, with over one million individuals currently held in camps and prisons. The report also documents widespread torture, indoctrination, and family separations, alongside an extensive surveillance network and forced labor connected to global supply chains.
The organization emphasized that the report “reaffirms what human rights advocates have long documented,” reinforcing decades of advocacy by diaspora groups and international watchdogs.
Meanwhile, the East Turkistan Government-in-Exile (ETGE) has also called on the United States and Central Asian countries to address the situation in East Turkistan at the upcoming C5+1 Summit in Washington, D.C. On its official website, the ETGE highlighted the urgent need to respond to China’s ongoing genocide and human rights abuses against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic communities.
Human rights organizations have repeatedly highlighted the systematic persecution of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in China’s Xinjiang region, also referred to by activists as East Turkistan. They describe these abuses as both genocide and ethnic cleansing due to the deliberate targeting of an entire ethnic and religious group. Several reports indicate that a significant number of people are confined in state-run detention facilities, often without due process, where they endure harsh conditions, torture, and political indoctrination.
