Uyghur Genocide

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

“I am afraid I might not get a chance to reunite with my husband.”

Anne Kader 3 years ago

My name is Mehray Mezensof and I am a registered nurse who lives in Melbourne, Australia. My husband, Mirzat Taher, an Australian permanent resident, is currently being held in a prison in Urumqi, Xinjiang

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

“One day my father did not reply to any of my messages.”

Anne Kader 3 years ago

My name is Shayida Ali. I am a mother of a newborn and daughter of a loving father who gave me the best childhood. This makes me the luckiest girl in the world.

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

Anne Kader 3 years ago

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

“In the summer of 2009, I called Niyaz from the UK. He told me not to call him anymore”

Anne Kader 3 years ago

I used to be very passionate about becoming a writer when I was very young. That childhood dream faced some serious challenges as I grew older because I quickly noticed the deep injustices and maltreatments my people were facing in the majoritarian Chinese state.

Opinion

Use of rubber gloves as form of patronization and humiliation – Opinion

Anne Kader 3 years ago

What is it with the rubber gloves? They are grossly used for patronization. It is not some disease control, and Uyghurs are not spreading some ideological virus. Why would elderly Uyghur female detainees need a Han Chinese carer somehow adjust their position for a mugshot? How humiliating! Why would one need one’s hair tidied up for a jail mugshot?

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims

“Ms. Bachelet, can you visit my family?” Uyghurs ask online

Anne Kader 3 years ago

Ahead of Michelle Bachelet’s (the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights) visit to the Chinese-occupied Uyghuristan/ East Turkistan, Uyghur exiles have been tagging their social media posts with #VisitMyFamily. Some have gone as far as to give her their family home address in Uyghuristan.

Uyghur Genocide

Anne Kader 3 years ago

Uyghurs in exile are demanding Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, release the long-due Uyghur Report, meet with victim families and allow them to meet with her before her planned trip to their occupied homeland. If she fails to act, she must resign.

Uyghur Genocide

Anne Kader 3 years ago

Uyghur Prisoners & Victims
