WUC Urges Marco Rubio to Address Uyghur Rights During Uzbekistan Visit
The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) has urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to address Uyghur rights during his upcoming visit to Uzbekistan for the C5+1 Ministerial. The WUC highlighted the risks Uyghurs face in Central Asia, including surveillance, intimidation, and forced returns to China, and called for US support to ensure human rights are prioritized alongside economic ties. Rubio is expected to meet Central Asian foreign ministers and lead a US business delegation, following previous diplomatic efforts by former Secretary Mike Pompeo.
