As the East Turkistan Human Rights Watch Association, we condemn strongly the massacre carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against civilians in El Fasher, Sudan.

As East Turkistan community that has suffered systematic genocide and human rights violations, we deeply share the pain of the Sudanese people, and we urge the international community to take immediate and resolute steps to stop this atrocity and protect innocent civilians.

China continues to target Uyghurs even outside its borders.
Uyghur scholar Dilnur Reyhan will be tried in France for allegedly throwing paint at a poster of the Chinese Embassy in 2022. The embassy staff who filed the complaint also added a €25 shoe cleaning cost to the case.

It is notable that the case, previously closed by French prosecutors, was reopened after Xi Jinping’s visit.

The content creator who visited East Turkistan was not allowed to pray at the Idgah Mosque which is one of the largest mosques in the region!
According to the content creator, it was said that prayers would be held in the mosque, but there was no congregation inside.
In other words, prayers are actually not being performed in the mosques.

East Turkestan: In Search of a Lost Land

On October 20, at Neslişah Sultan Cultural Center, we hosted esteemed journalist and author Taha Kılınç for a talk on his book “East Turkestan Travelogue.”

Kılınç shared his observations and firsthand experiences from his recent visit to East Turkestan, shedding light on the traces of oppression and the realities he witnessed there.
Throughout the talk, he revealed striking examples of how China’s systematic repression and assimilation policies manifest on the ground contrary to the official narratives and propaganda.

We sincerely thank Taha Kılınç for honoring us with his presence, all our guests for filling the hall with their great interest, and everyone who supported us along the way.

As ETHR, we had the pleasure of hosting Scott Worden and students from Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs ( ). During the meeting, we discussed ongoing academic research on China’s systematic human rights violations against the Uyghur people, the responsibilities of the international community, technology-based repression mechanisms—including AI-driven surveillance—and transnational repression practices targeting the diaspora.

Idris Hasan, a Uyghur Turkish with a Chinese citizenship who has been residing in Turkey since 2012, traveled to Morocco on a tourist visa from Istanbul on July 20, 2022. He was subsequently detained in Casablanca at the request of China and is currently held in a Moroccan Detention Center for deportation. The efforts of international civil society organizations and human rights advocates to secure Hasan's repatriation to Turkey have been ongoing for two years. Unfortunately, despite all efforts Hasan’s life remains at serious risk if immediate action is not taken. Hasan’s wife and three children are eagerly awaiting his return. For both family and humanitarian reasons, the release of Idris Hasan is not only a fundamental right for him but also for his family.
