‘Recognize China’s Genocide’ Protest – Washington DC

Salih Hudayar, Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the protest organizer, will be giving interviews prior to and after the protest.

The review came as lawmakers from both parties have increasingly called on the Trump administration to act over human rights abuses in East Turkistan.

In October, Senators. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, introduced a bipartisan resolution designating China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in East Turkistan as genocide.

The East Turkistan Government-in-Exile (ETGE), established in 2004, is the democratically elected official body representing the interests of East Turkistan and its people.

As such, the ETGE seeks to restore East Turkistan’s independence as a democratic, secular, pluralistic Republic that guarantees human rights and freedom for all, while the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (ETNAM) is an international movement striving for the restoration of East Turkistan’s independence as an open, pluralistic Republic guaranteeing Human Rights and Freedoms for all. It was established in 2017.

The original East Turkistan National Awakening Movement was established in 1921.
