World Uyghur Congress protests 77 years of Chinese rule
Original: PRESS RELEASE: WUC commemorates 77 years of oppression with protest on the anniversary of the People’s Republic of China
The World Uyghur Congress marked the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by holding a protest, framing the date as one commemorating what it calls decades of oppression of the Uyghur people. The group urged international attention to human rights conditions in the Xinjiang region, which it refers to as East Turkestan.
Why now: The protest coincides with China's national day anniversary, drawing attention to ongoing Uyghur human rights advocacy.
