On March 10, the
@UyghurCongress
stands in solidarity with the
#Tibetan
people, as they saw the CCP illegally invade and occupy their homeland in 1959.
Today and every day, the WUC stands in solidarity with Tibetans, defending human rights and freedom.

How about this?
@iocmedia
@Olympics
@Beijing2022
I thought the Olympics were not a political event? 🤔
On a side note, I applaud this athlete for his courage. How about “Free Uyghur” signs?

It amazes me how threatened China feels when we approach governments and urge them to take action on the
#UyghurGenocide
.
I guess they’re scared of the truth…
After the
@UyghurCongress
' visit to Ireland, where it met with the Foreign Ministry & UN Special Rapporteur
@MaryLawlorhrds
, the Chinese Embassy in Dublin threatened 🇮🇪 not to speak out on the
#UyghurGenocide
.
Again, 🇨🇳 attempts to silence any criticism.

Absolutely disheartening to see brands with so called ''ethical policies'' turn their back to human rights and choose to embolden a genocidal regime.
As a Uyghur, I am deeply hurt and frustrated.

A few companies started removing their policy on
