Uyghur Groups Condemn China’s Ethnic Unity Law and Call for Global Response
A coalition of over 50 Uyghur diaspora and civil society groups, led by the World Uyghur Congress, condemned China's Law on the Promotion of Ethnic Unity and Progress, effective July 1, 2026. They allege the law enforces forced assimilation by prioritizing Mandarin, promoting Sinicisation of religion, and mandating CCP-aligned education, which they say marginalizes ethnic identities and cultures. The coalition also criticized Article 63 for extending China's legal reach abroad, raising concerns about transnational repression and national sovereignty. International bodies have expressed alarm over the legislation.
