WikipediaUyghur American AssociationThe Uyghur American Association was founded in 1998 and received its first US government aid in 2004. It later split from the Uyghur Human Rights Project in 2016 and has been involved in protests and advocacy campaigns.Devdiscourse“We want China out of Tibet”: Tibetans, Uyghurs hold anti-China protests in Washington over Xi’s US visitTibetans, Uyghurs, and other diaspora groups protested in Washington DC opposing President Xi Jinping's visit, calling for attention to human rights in Tibet and Xinjiang. Uyghur Human Rights Project's Omer Kanat said Tibet and East Turkistan were occupied in 1959 and 1949, respectively, and that Chinese policies restrict religious and cultural life. The protests coincided with Xi's meetings with Trump, urging the US to raise concerns.The Tribune“We want China out of Tibet”: Tibetans, Uyghurs hold anti-China protests in Washington over Xi’s US visitTibetans, Uyghurs, and other diaspora groups protested in Washington DC opposing Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit, calling for attention to human rights in Tibet and Xinjiang.

The protests coincided with Xi's meetings with Trump, urging the US to raise concerns.The TribuneWUC highlights global pushback against China over Uyghur repression, cyber targeting and ethnic unity lawA joint investigation by Citizen Lab and the ICIJ, published April 27, 2026, exposed Chinese state-aligned actors for allegedly targeting Uyghur advocacy groups, including the World Uyghur Congress, through phishing emails and malware campaigns designed to compromise devices and steal credentials. On April 28, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Doe I, a case examining whether the technology company can be held liable for allegedly assisting Chinese government surveillance and persecution of ethnic minorities, with the Uyghur Human Rights Project filing an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs. Separately, on April 30, 2026, the European Parliament adopted a resolution condemning China's Law on the Promotion of Ethnic Unity and Progress, warning it deepens repression and forced assimilation of Uyghurs and other minorities.The TribuneUHRP warns Uyghur region faces deepening media blackout as China intensifies press repressionThe Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) released a report raising alarm over severe press repression in East Turkistan (the Uyghur Region), citing China's ranking of 178th out of 180 countries on Reporters Without Borders' 2025 Press Freedom Index. The organization cited the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China finding that over three-quarters of foreign correspondents who traveled to the region in 2024 encountered serious barriers including surveillance and intimidation of potential interviewees. The UHRP also referenced Committee to Protect Journalists data showing China is the world's leading jailer of journalists, with at least 50 media workers imprisoned, nearly half of whom are Uyghur.The TribuneUHRP raises alarm over Canadian MP's remarks on Uyghur forced labourThe Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) has raised concerns about remarks made by Canadian Member of Parliament Michael Ma during a parliamentary hearing on March 26, 2026, where he questioned the credibility of documented evidence of Uyghur forced labour in China, stating he only believes what he can see with his own eyes. The UHRP views these remarks as either a "willful disregard" for extensively documented evidence or a concerning alignment with Chinese government efforts to deny human rights abuses, noting that Canada has formally recognized the Chinese government's treatment of Uyghurs as genocide. The organization has called on Ma to fully disavow his comments and has urged Canadian officials to prevent goods produced through forced labour from entering Canadian markets.PR NewswireElie Wiesel Foundation Announces Inaugural Grantees Dedicated to Uyghur Advocacy Efforts and EducationThe Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity has announced the first beneficiaries of its inaugural grant-making cycle, awarding $550,000 to organizations advocating for the Uyghur community. The grants are aimed at supporting efforts to restore the rights and dignity of Uyghurs unlawfully detained by the Chinese government, reflecting Wiesel's legacy in education and activism. Notable grantees include the World Uyghur Congress and the Uyghur Human Rights Project, who will host a conference focusing on the international response to the Uyghur genocide.JwwElie Wiesel Foundation Awards Grant to Nonprofit Trio to “Restore the Rights and Dignity of the Uyghur Population”Jewish World Watch (JWW) received part of a $500,000 grant from the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity to support its advocacy for the Uyghur community, alongside World Uyghur Congress (WUC) and the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP). The grant will help fund a conference for Uyghur activists and allies in New York aimed at addressing the international response to the Uyghur genocide. This initiative is designed to foster collaboration and enhance activism within the Jewish community and beyond to combat ongoing human rights violations.UhrpKashgar’s Old City Destruction Emblematic of Beijing’s Cultural Campaign Against Uyghurs: ReportChina's government has significantly destroyed Kashgar's Old City in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, aiming to undermine Uyghur culture as detailed in a report by the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP). The report highlights this destruction as part of a broader campaign to control the Uyghurs, with plans to raze up to 85 percent of the Old City announced in 2009. UHRP calls for the cessation of demolitions and for Kashgar to be considered for UNESCO World Heritage Site status due to its cultural importance.Business InsiderRelatives of China's oppressed Muslim minority are getting blocked online by their own family members, who are terrified to even tell them how bad their lives areUighur diaspora members report being blocked by family on WeChat, fearing Chinese government retribution.
