At the Munich European Uyghur Summit, Uyghur human rights activist Rushan Abbas publicly released her potent memoir,” Unbroken: One Uyghur’s Fight for Freedom.” A poignant reading and strong statements of support from international dignitaries and advocates were the highlights of the launch. Abbas ‘ memoir chronicles her personal journey, the ongoing atrocities against the Uyghur people, and her tireless fight for justice and freedom. She is also the chair of the World Uyghur Congress ( WUC) and the CFU executive director. Today marked the start of the East Turkistan/Uyghur National Summit, which was co-hosted by @UyghurCongress and #CUyghurs, according to Abbas in a blog on X. She even made a personal statement at the conference, namely, that she presented her narrative to Bavarian State Parliament vice-president Markus Rinderspacher. Abbas continued,” We are profoundly thankful for his dedication to the right of the Uyghur people,” adding,” we are deeply grateful for his support of the Uyghur reason.” A Letter to the Uyghur Diaspora, a heartfelt message of endurance, unification, and hope, was read aloud by Abbas, one of the game’s most moving moments. A distinguished group of supporters and associates, including Dolkun Isa, previous World Uyghur Congress leader, Niclas Butz, Ambassador to the Health Innovation Exchange, and David Baxendale of Oneworld Publications, were present at the conference. Each reaffirmed the significance of advocating for the Uyghur reason and expressed strong support for Abbas’s job. Highlights of the start on X included a major NGO called Campaign for Uyghurs, which is dedicated to promoting human rights and political freedoms for East Turkistan’s population and ending the Uyghur holocaust. People of the Uyghur emigration from around the globe, trusted friends, advocates, and global delegates, surrounded by members of the Uyghur community, and” we were greatly honored to mark the European release of Unbroken at the Uyghur Summit in Munich,” the organization posted. Unbroken’s release in Europe reflects a growing body of allies who are committed to defending fundamental freedoms, individual respect, and justice. It also highlights a growing global awareness of the Uyghur struggle. Under the Chinese government, the Uyghur population in the Xinjiang region has been the target of intense and organized human rights violations. Over a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minority have been arbitrarily detained in so-called “re-education” tents, where reports of coercion, torture, and mistreatment have been reported. Officials have imposed widespread security, stifled religious and cultural practices, and isolated children from their families. Additionally, evidence points to forced labor practices in Xinjiang and forced labor camps for Uyghurs who are forced to perform their jobs under harsh circumstances. Additionally, China’s policies on birth control that target Uyghur women have raised serious questions about socioeconomic destruction. With growing names for transparency and worldwide action to end the persecution and defend Uyghur rights, international organizations and various institutions have referred to these acts as crimes against humanity.
