Swedish Uyghur Committee condemns alleged persecution by Chinese govt in East Turkistan

| @indiablooms | 21 Sep 2024, 12:14 am

Shukur Samsak, the chairperson of the Swedish Uyghur Committee, has condemned the ongoing alleged persecution of the Uyghur people by the Chinese government in East Turkistan.

Samsak posted on X: "Since its occupation of #EastTurkistan in 1949, the Chinese government has been committing a relentless genocide, brutally slaughtering millions upon millions of Uyghurs, ripping families apart, harvesting and selling their organs, sterilizing the women, and erasing their very existence."

He alleged more than 10,000,000 Uyghurs and other Turkic people have been imprisoned in concentration camps, tortured, executed, starved, brainwashed, organ harvested, forcibly sterilized, sexually assaulted, forcibly enslaved in labour camps, and subjected to unspeakable atrocities. 

"Over 1,000,000 Uyghur children have been kidnapped from their parents to be tortured, organ harvested, sexually assaulted and raised as Chinese Patriot Citizens—an entire generation being erased before our eyes," he said.

"Where is the outrage for East Turkistan? Where are the protests for these millions of innocent lives? We’ve mobilized for causes far less grave, yet the world watches in silence as a genocide unfolds. How much longer will humanity look away? We must act before it’s too late," he said.

He said time has come for the Swedish government to formally recognize China’s ongoing genocide and occupation of East Turkistan.

"Sweden must take a firm stand for human rights, freedom, and justice," he said.
