East Turkistan Govt-in-Exile urges action on China’s human rights abuses

The East Turkistan Government-in-Exile (ETGE) has urged the United States and Central Asian nations to place the situation in East Turkistan on the agenda during the forthcoming C5+1 Summit in Washington.

According to its official website, the ETGE stressed the critical need to address China’s ongoing acts of genocide and crimes against humanity targeting Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic peoples.

Salih Hudayar, Foreign Minister of the ETGE, stated, “East Turkistan is at the core of Central Asia. China’s occupation of East Turkistan has facilitated Beijing’s political, military, and economic expansion across the region. Confronting China’s campaign of colonisation, genocide, and occupation in East Turkistan is essential for safeguarding Central Asia’s independence and security.”
