On the third anniversary of the Uyghur Genocide Recognition Day, observed on December 9, 2021, <\/span>Justice For All<\/span><\/a>\u2019s <\/span>Save Uyghur Campaign<\/span><\/a> calls on the international community to fulfill its moral and legal obligations to recognize and act against the ongoing genocide of the Uyghur people by the Chinese government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The date marks a pivotal point when the <\/span>Uyghur Tribunal<\/span><\/a>, a people\u2019s tribunal based in the United Kingdom, released its independent findings. The tribunal <\/span>concluded<\/span><\/a> that the government of the People\u2019s Republic of China had committed genocide against the Uyghurs through <\/span>coercive birth control and sterilization measures<\/span><\/a>. Furthermore, they uncovered evidence of crimes against humanity, including torture and <\/span>sexual abuse<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe recognition of these atrocities as genocide was a critical step forward,\u201d stated Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid, President of Justice For All. \u201cHowever, the recognition is not enough\u2014we need global action to end these atrocities. We stand together remembering the victims and vow to amplify our call for justice and accountability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the tribunal\u2019s independent status, China initiated an aggressive campaign to <\/span>discredit<\/span><\/a> its findings, even imposing <\/span>sanctions<\/span><\/a> against the tribunal\u2019s organizers and labeling the tribunal\u2019s work as \u201csheer fiction\u201d with \u201cpaid actors.\u201d These <\/span>sanctions<\/span><\/a> drew condemnation from notable global leaders, including the British Prime Minister, and resulted in the British Foreign Secretary summoning the Chinese ambassador.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arslan Hidayat, Save Uyghur Team Lead, stressed, \u201cThe Chinese government’s attempts to vilify and silence those who are uncovering the truth must be met with resistance and resolve. We implore all governments to recognize these findings officially and take tangible steps to halt these egregious human rights abuses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Justice For All urges immediate and concrete actions, including recognizing the genocide formally, implementing targeted sanctions against Chinese officials responsible, and increasing humanitarian efforts to support Uyghur refugees and those affected by these heinous crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n
