Roads to Migrate – Chinese Persecution against the Uighurs, Gizem Dik Hosts Kevser Paşaoğlu.
In the third episode of the Roads to Migrate, Gizem Dik hosts Kevser, from the Ibn Haldun University, to talk about the Chinese Persecution against the Uighurs. According to Kevser, the Chinese government’s campaign against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is multi-faceted and systematic. The main strategies of the Chinese government include identity-based persecution, mass detention, surveillance, enforced sterilizations, forced labor, and forced assimilation. Uyghurs are barred from freely practicing their religion, speaking their language, and expressing other fundamental elements of their identity.
Kevser also underlines that because of the massacres the Uighurs have to leave their lands and the migration case is another point for the Chinese persecution aginst the humanity. Many Uighurs wants to turn back their country freely, but because of the racisim which is still gonin on, it is not possible yet.
