Sadly, it looks like China is going to take a major step in destroying Uighur culture and the world (and specifically the global media) will not say a word in protest. The cultural genocide of the Uighurs is a clear path to ending the Uighur desire for freedom from Chinese occupation for East Turkestan. Obviously this is similar to the Chinese government’s policies aimed towards destroying Tibet’s culture and language as a means of solidifying their illegal military occupation and stifling Tibetan’s desire for freedom.

    I am really upset by this and can’t seem to find any organizations protesting. Do you know of any groups protesting this? I would like to participate. Thks. Gina

    Gina- I don’t know the answer to this, though I would guess Rebiya Kadeer is leading some sort of opposition to it.
