    Beginning in 2016–17, Uyghurs abroad experienced a near-total collapse in contact with family. Phones went silent. Calls became dangerous. Some were detained simply for "having relatives abroad." Fear has turned ordinary family communication into a punishable act.

    Just a tiny, tiny fraction of the Uyghurs disappeared into China's Orwellian social nightmare. Don't reduce them to a number, they all matter. #DayOfTheDisappeared

    As Xi Jinping landed in San Francisco, Uyghurs stood with Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Taiwanese, and Chinese human rights defenders to show him he’s not welcome. Paid supporters of the 🇨🇳 government stood by in the background with empty expressions. #StopUyghurGenocide

    🗣️ June 15th is #UyghurLanguageDay 🗣️ All of us at the @UyghurProject celebrate the beauty of the #Uyghur language, and continue to promote it abroad. As the Chinese govt attempts to eliminate the language altogether, we must stand firm to ensure it lives on.

    "U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement that the files revealed “shocking details of China’s human rights violations” against [Uyghurs]." The rest of the world has an obligation to demand answers about these cases alongside 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇬🇧.

    Uyghurs #StandWithHongKong. The treatment of #Uyghurs is directly connected w/ China's harsh approach to #HongKong, #Tibet, Chinese human rights defenders for years. Our solidarity will be crucial in the years of struggle ahead. (Thanks to @TheTibetNetwork for the images)
