Human Rights

German I Turkish I French Right now, more than 3 MILLION Uyghur Muslims are put in concentration camps in Xinjiang, China. The government has been targeting Muslims through a campaign of torture, surveillance, no rights to practice their religion and brainwashing these Muslims to disown their religion to become "normal citizens". A genocide happening right now!  Men are taken to concentration camps, children are send to orphanages and women are forcefully being married with other Chinese men. In the concentration camps they are forced to eat pork, drink alcohol, and denounce themselves as Muslims. Leaked documents show that detainees are forced to take pills and get injections, they are the human subject of medical experiments, organ harvesting and sterilization procedures. They must memorize propoganda songs and confess invented sins. 10-30% of the Uyghur Muslims are put in concentration camps. However those who are living outside the concentration camps are also in extremely bad conditions. Outside the camps a spyware app must be installed on their phone, so the government can monitor their activity, Muslim women cannot wear the hijab (scarf) unless she is over the age of 45, they are not allowed to speak any foreign language, there is no halal food, pork and alcohol MUST be in every household. and facial recognition can capture who is passing by a mosque and punish them for doing so.  This has been going on since the spring of 2017, with a U.S. commission calling it "the largest mass incarceration of a minority population in the world today." NO ONE deserves to be persecuted due to their religious beliefs. Raise awareness by sharing this petition to stand up for the Uyghur Muslims in China of this immoral and inhumane persecution! I am Nawid, a muslim and student from The Netherlands. The stories I came across on social media about the Uyghur crisis moved me. As a human being with basic human rights I felt it was my duty to do something, so I used my meme page as a platform to raise awareness about this issue and created this petition. The petition, that was signed 150.000 times in 4 days by people all around the globe, proves that the power is still with the people and we can change the situation. But there is still so much left to do. Join me by signing this petition and using your voice against injustice.

Since early January, Puerto Rico has suffered multiple powerful earthquakes, destroying thousands of homes, hospitals, and schools. These shocks ripped through an island still crippled by one of the most powerful hurricanes the region has ever seen, Hurricane Maria. Imagine an already bruised infrastructure still recovering and now feeling the weight of another natural disaster. Puerto Ricans desperately need our help – yet President Trump is blocking aid to the island. This money has been approved by Congress, but the Trump administration is withholding it due to “financial mismanagement” – even though there is nothing to suggest that Puerto Rico cannot manage the funds. People are sleeping on the streets, and living without running water or electricity due to Trump’s blatant disdain for their suffering.  Puerto Ricans are American citizens and have a legal right to this aid money. But more importantly, we are humans and this behavior is typical of a president who would rather play politics with people’s lives than help them. Every second that goes by puts more Puerto Ricans at risk. Hospitals don’t have the power or water they need to treat patients, schools are unsafe for students to enter. Families want to return to their homes.  President Trump: release the aid. Help Puerto Rico get back on its feet.
