Dear John,
In 2016, news of horrific human rights abuses began trickling out of China’s Xinjiang region, home to Uyghurs and other ethnic Turkic groups. Beijing sought to stamp out their targets’ distinct identity and eliminate loyalty to institutions other than the party-state, which is dominated by the Chinese Communist Party.
While Uyghurs in Xinjiang have borne the brunt of this repression, a global diaspora of more than 500,000 has also been affected. Some of its members have been rendered stateless, rely on aid, and otherwise live in fear of what Chinese authorities can do beyond their borders. But governments, civil society, and international bodies can help diaspora Uyghurs live freer and safer lives.
