World Uyghur Congress Alleges China Expands Uyghur Repression Beyond Borders
The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) has accused China of extending its repression of Uyghurs and other Turkic communities beyond East Turkistan, citing Morocco's detention and deportation of Dolkun Isa, a Uyghur leader, as an example. The WUC marked the 12th anniversary of the Yarkand Massacre with protests and called for an independent investigation into alleged crackdowns. It also highlighted testimony from a former Chinese police officer detailing security operations in the region. Concerns have been raised about China's new Ethnic Unity Law affecting neighboring countries.
