On February 5, 1997, China committed a crime against humanity in Ghulja before the eyes of the world. Innocent people who were peacefully carrying out their religious practices among themselves became the target of the Chinese state. On the anniversary of the Ghulja Massacre, we commemorate our martyrs who lost their lives with mercy and respect.

On December 27, 2025, a meeting organized by ETHR was held to comprehensively review the completed activity period.

December 18 has been designated by the United Nations as International Migrants Day.

Although people often set out in search of a better life, migration is frequently driven by coercive factors such as war, climate crisis, poverty, and political repression. For Uyghurs from East Turkestan, however, migration is not a choice it is a struggle for survival. It is not merely the crossing of a border, but an effort to protect one’s identity, faith, language, and family.

What is happening in East Turkistan today is not merely a matter of “migration.” It is a profound test for international law, universal human rights instruments, and the global conscience. Thousands of Uyghur families have been forcibly torn apart, while the language, culture, and collective memory of an entire people are being systematically threatened with extinction. Fundamental rights, including freedom of education and belief, are being restricted under the pretext of “security.”

International Migrants Day is not only about raising awareness; it is a call to amplify the voices of those who have been silenced and to reaffirm the human dignity of those forced into displacement.

One of the biggest rights taken away from Uyghurs is the right to be a family.
For many years, Uyghurs have been forced to assimilate and their families are being broken apart.
Young children are taken from their families and placed in orphanages, while parents are sent to detention camps.

On this day, when the world remembers human rights, it is our shared responsibility to remember the families torn apart in East Turkistan.

On December 10, World Human Rights Day, we made a press statement to raise a strong and united voice for oppressed regions. Sadly, instead of being a day to celebrate rights, December 10 has become a day to remember ongoing wars, occupations, and systematic human rights violations.
