FREE THE CHINA UIGHURS


FREE THE CHINA UIGHURS
The Issue
Chinese Uighurs are being tormented, tortured and abused for their heritage. There is a video of PROOF from Mr. Merdan Ghappar who was recently put in a detention center. "As a model for the massive Chinese online retailer Taobao, the 31-year-old was well paid to flaunt his good looks in slick promotional videos for clothing brands.But one video of Mr Ghappar is different. Instead of a glitzy studio or fashionable city street, the backdrop is a bare room with grubby walls and steel mesh on the window. And in place of the posing, Mr Ghappar sits silently with an anxious expression on his face.Holding the camera with his right hand, he reveals his dirty clothes, his swollen ankles, and a set of handcuffs fixing his left wrist to the metal frame of the bed - the only piece of furniture in the room." says BBC. In the past few years, more than ONE MILLION Uighurs and others have been forced into a variety of abuse. Many are threatened to eat pork, drink alcohol, and other actions. We need to raise awareness for the Chinese Uighurs who are being tormented, abused, harrased, and opressed. Please read the BBC article; https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53650246
