Urgent action to stop the genocide of Uyghurs in China
We, the undersigned, write to you with great concern and call for urgent action regarding the genocide that is currently taking place in China against the Uyghur people. We emphasize that this issue is of great concern and requires an immediate response from the international community.
Uyghur Muslims living in China are subjected to systematic human rights violations that can ultimately be categorized as genocide.
According to reports and independent research, the rights of the Uyghur people in China have been systematically violated, including mass deportation, mass arrests, torture, violence, sexual harassment, forced abortifacient contraception and sterilization, and mass indoctrination and repression of religious freedoms. These atrocities are of unprecedented scale and severity, and reflect the existence of an oppressive strategy of cultural and ethnic annihilation of the Uyghurs.
Sources confirming the massive violations of Uighur rights include reports from human rights organizations, international observers, survivor testimonies, and leaked confidential documents, such as the leaked archive "Chinese Documents on Uighur Rights Violations" published by the Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación.
The international community cannot remain inactive on such gross human rights violations. We call on governments, international organizations and all those with influence to take immediate action to stop the genocide of Uyghurs in China.
It is important to realize that complete silence and inaction by the international community will only strengthen China's impunity and encourage similar crimes in the future. We need to stand up for the rights and dignity of the Uyghur people, end their suffering, and bring justice to the victims of genocide.
We call for the following concrete actions:
1. International human rights organizations to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation into the violations of Uyghur rights in China and provide a public labeling of these actions as genocide.
2. Governments to consider imposing economic and political sanctions on China until concrete action is taken to stop the genocide.
3. International organizations such as the UN and the European Union to increase pressure on China to demand that the authorities respect the rights and freedoms of the Uyghur people.
4. For countries in close proximity to China to conduct internal reflection and consider accepting Uyghur refugees to provide them with protection and security.
If these measures are successful, we can end the genocide and restore the dignity and rights of the Uyghur people. However, without your active support, these atrocities may continue. Take our plea to heart and add your voice to ours to hold China accountable for its crimes. Together, we can make the world a place where respect for human rights is the foundation of freedom and justice.
