We are pleased to launch a new weekly series on our news page, featuring individual testimonies from our 100 Camp Testimonies book, which offers deeply personal accounts from Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples who have faced systematic oppression, persecution, and human rights violations in East Turkistan.
100 Testimonies is a crucial historical document. It should be read by anyone with empathy for humanity and a concern for the devastating consequences of unchecked power when a vengeful, chauvinist state is emboldened by economic clout and digital technology.
Why This Matters
This weekly series is more than just a collection of stories — it is a vital step in preserving the truth and amplifying voices that might otherwise remain unheard. Each testimony sheds light on the ongoing atrocities in East Turkistan, providing a human perspective that transcends political rhetoric and statistics.
- Document: Every shared story ensures that the world bears witness to these human rights abuses, preventing the erasure of these experiences.
- Preserve: By documenting and amplifying these voices, we safeguard the truth for future generations and maintain the conversation around these critical issues.
What to Expect
Each week, we will feature a different testimony, offering profound insights into the human impact of these atrocities. These accounts go beyond narratives – they are powerful testaments to the resilience and determination of individuals fighting for dignity and justice. By presenting voices directly from the victims – farmers, educators, chefs, students, entrepreneurs, artists, academics, journalists, spouses, parents, siblings, and children – these testimonies illuminate the enduring strength and humanity of those affected.
