Justice For All\u2019s Save Uighur Campaign heralds the determination by the U.S. State Department\u00a0 of genocide and crimes against humanity. This is a call that our organization has been making for several years. The United States is the first country in the world to recognize this.<\/p>\n
This designation of genocide is crucial in ending the Chinese government\u2019s horrific, longstanding atrocities against Uyghurs, which includes running the largest concentration camps since the Nazis.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis declaration by the US State Department that China has committed genocide against Uighurs is a true example of saying what it is, Genocide. We hope that the coming administration will build on this declaration by ensuring that trade with China is not at the cost of human rights,\u201d stated Malik Mujahid, Chair of Save Uighur Campaign and founder of Justice For All.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis genocide determination must be a wake up call for the world. We urge governments across the world to disengage from Chinese Communits Party (CCP) and stop this continued oppression of Uyghur and Turkic Muslims,\u201d said Serwi Huseyin, Team lead for the Save Uighur Campaign. Justice For All released a widely distributed report in the Uyghur Genocide in 2020 and has been at the forefront of this advocacy.<\/p>\n
The US Government has found the actions of the CCP \u201cmorally repugnant\u201d and find the policies, practices, and abuses \u201cdesigned systematically to discriminate against and surveil ethnic Uyghurs as a unique demographic and ethnic group, restrict their freedom to travel, emigrate, and attend schools, and deny other basic human rights of assembly, speech, and worship. PRC authorities have conducted forced sterilizations and abortions on Uyghur women, coerced them to marry non-Uyghurs, and separated Uyghur children from their families.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hena Zuberi, Director of Justice For All, stated \u201cWe ask for a UN investigation into this genocide determination as soon as possible. China has stalled investigations in the past, but international pressure should be brought on China to stop their extermination of the Uyghur population.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Save Uighur Campaign reinstates the call by the World Uyghur Congress to the United Nations to call a special session on China\u2019s atrocities against Uyghurs and other Turkic People.<\/p>\n
