Today’s Action: Tell Congress to condemn the genocide of Muslims in China
China has placed over one million Uyghur Muslims into concentration camps. The ethnic minority Turkic Uyghurs number approximately half the population of the resource-rich Xinjiang region of Western China…and they are being disappeared in a real-time genocide that desperately demands global response.
The detained Uyghur Muslims are physically and psychologically tortured, and there are reports of waterboarding and sterilization. The prisoners receive state re-education, and all Uyghurs have been forced to renounce Islam, the practice of which has been criminalized. Activists say the bodies of the dead in the camps are being cremated, so it is difficult to tell how many have been killed thus far.
There are bills in both the House and the Senate condemning the actions of the Chinese government, but little media coverage. So today, we tackle both.
Second, help build public awareness by spreading the word to friends and family, and on social media by sharing this 4-minute video by activist and Uyghur Muslim-American Aydin Anwar.
Activists believe the Chinese government’s intentions are to gain more control over the Xinjiang region, which is rich in natural gas and coal — but the government’s public statement is battling ‘Islamic extremism.’
This genocide rings familiar with the stories of those which have come before, wherein religion and ideology are twisted with economic takeover, from Nazi Germany eradicating the wealthy business-owning Jewish population, to our own country “spreading democracy” via invasion throughout the resource-rich Middle East.
Genocide often lives in shadows. For the million Uyghur Muslims living and dying in camps, our best tool at this time is shedding light.
Then, spread the word on this tragedy by sharing Aydin Anwar’s video – or others – with your friends and family via email and social media.
