East Turkistan govt-in-exile urges Muslim world to break silence on Chinese genocide in Xinjiang

East Turkistan, also known as Xinjiang, Prime Minister of the government-in-exile, Salih Hudayar, in a video message was quoted as saying by The Geneva Daily: “What we expect from the Muslim world is solidarity and support be it politically, financially, diplomatically or by any other means to help us seek justice and an end to China’s decades of occupation and genocide in East Turkistan.”

“We again call on the entire Muslim world to break their silence and do everything in their power to help liberate East Turkistan and its people from Chinese occupation and oppression,” he added.

Speaking about the oppression by the Chinese government, Hudayar said more than 3 million people in East Turkistan are currently kept in concentration camps. 

“Mosques and other religious sites have been destroyed," he said.

“Qurans and other Islamic texts have been burned. Over 500,000 East Turkistan children have been forcibly separated from their families and sent to state-run orphanages to be raised as atheist Chinese citizens,” said Hudayar.

“East Turkistan women are being sterilized, Muslims are being forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. The organs of East Turkistani Muslims are being harvested and sold to Muslims across the world as halal organs,” he added.
