Thanks to @MahmutRahima from @UyghurCongress for a moving talk sharing her personal experiences of the persecution her community faces from the CCP. #HETAmbassadors and @HolocaustUK will not stay silent and will always speak up in support of minority rights!

I would also encourage you to look at the @VICE documentary exposing the horrifying abuse of the Uyghur to educate yourself on this pressing human rights issue.
@MaajidNawaz has been essential in raising awareness of the treatment of the Uyghur community and calling public figures out for not doing enough. I recommend you watch his powerful words on @LBC last week condemning the CCP's account. https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/maajid-nawaz/picks-apart-chinas-explanation-aerial-footage-uighur-muslims/

@KarenPollock100 has also written for @politicshome on her reflections about the shocking treatment of the Uyghur community and how we all have a responsibility to call it out. I strongly recommend you read it! https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/history-teaches-us-that-we-cannot-stay-silent-in-the-face-of-what-is-happening-to-chinas-uighur-community
