Stand with the Uyghurs!

To world leaders, CEOs and investors around the world:

We urge you to stand with the Uyghur people in Xinjiang. It is not acceptable to turn a blind eye and keep "business as usual" while a million people are being brutally detained and brainwashed in China. We call on you to leverage your political and economic power, including targeted sanctions and divestment, to compel the Chinese government to respect the human rights and freedoms guaranteed to Uyghurs under international law. This is a matter of conscience for all of us.

Stand with the Uyghurs!
Mihrigul Tursun took her 8-week-old triplets to visit their grandparents in China -- and what happened next is heartbreaking.

She was arrested and sent to a secret prison camp, while her babies were taken from her. Three months later, her babies were returned: two alive, the third -- Mohaned -- dead.

Her crime --- she's Uyghur, a Muslim ethnic minority under siege by Beijing. So much that China has imprisoned 1 million like Mihrigul in massive prison camps, and is trying to erase their culture and language through constant surveillance, brainwashing, and even forced sterilization.

We need to stop this.

Most leaders are afraid to speak because they fear economic retaliation from China. But we can’t be -- if we raise 1 million voices to say free the Uyghurs, Avaaz can deliver them into a key UN meeting in days, and get key countries to condemn China’s actions and request an independent visit to the secret prisons that took Mohaned’s life.
