We commemorate the victims of the Yarkand Massacre and demand justice for East Turkistan.
On July 28, 2014, China carried out the Yarkent Massacre in East Turkistan, killing thousands of Uyghurs, with estimates ranging from at least 2,000 to as many as 5,000. The massacre took place just two months after China launched its ongoing campaign of genocide in May 2014, becoming one of its earliest and deadliest atrocities.
ONLY DECOLONIZATION AND THE RESTORATION OF EAST TURKISTAN'S INDEPENDENCE CAN ENSURE LASTING FREEDOM, SECURITY, AND JUSTICE.

Today, representatives of the East Turkistan Government in Exile gathered outside the U.S. @StateDept to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the July 28, 2014 Yarkent Massacre and demand justice for East Turkistan.

Twelve years ago, China carried out one of the deadliest massacres in East Turkistan’s recent history, killing thousands of Uyghurs in Yarkent County, East Turkistan, just months after launching its ongoing campaign of genocide.

We call on the United States and the international community to move beyond statements and take meaningful action to hold China accountable, end the genocide, recognize East Turkistan as an occupied country, and support the restoration of East Turkistan’s independence.

Justice for Yarkent.
End China’s genocide.
End China’s occupation.
Restore East Turkistan’s independence

[Ali jan @AliJanAtush]

East Turkistan is NOT "a part of China;" it is a captive nation occupied by China. Public Law 86-90 affirmed U.S. support for captive nations seeking liberation and the recovery of independence. America must support the restoration of East Turkistan's independence.
As the United States observes Captive Nations Week (July 19–25 , 2026 )
U S Governments must recognize East Turkistan as an occupied nation and support our East Turkistan

East Turkistan and Tibet share the same struggle against Chinese colonial occupation and genocide. Restoring our independence is not just a demand, it is the only way to ensure our peoples’ very survival. The spirit of our friend Lobga Rangzen lives among us. Independence for East Turkistan! Independence for Tibet!

[East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) @ETExileGov]

The ETGE condemns Germany's surrender of Arafat Adil, a 21-year-old Uyghur with Turkish citizenship, to China's fascistic regime committing genocide against Uyghurs. Germany @BMI_Bund, of all nations, knows where this leads. We call on the @EUCouncil to ban surrendering Uyghurs to China.

📰East Turkistan Marks Captive Nations Week, Renews Calls to Restore Independence

WASHINGTON — As the United States observes Captive Nations Week (July 19–25, 2026), the East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) today reaffirmed East Turkistan’s status as a captive nation under Public Law 86-90 and renewed its call for the international community to recognize East Turkistan as an occupied country and support the restoration of its independence.

Enacted in 1959, the Captive Nations Resolution (Public Law 86-90) explicitly named Turkistan among the nations subjugated by Communist imperialism, calling for U.S. support to keep alive their desire for liberty and national independence. On Oct. 12, 1949, just 11 days after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese communist forces invaded East Turkistan, overthrowing the independent East Turkistan Republic on Dec. 22, 1949, and launching a campaign of colonization and occupation that continues to this day.

Seventy-six years later, China continues to hold East Turkistan captive and, since 2014, has subjected Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic peoples to an ongoing campaign of genocide and crimes against humanity, mass internment, mass enslavement through forced labor, and systematic erasure. This campaign has been further codified through Beijing’s so-called “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress,” adopted on July 1, 2026, which enshrines forced assimilation, cultural erasure, and transnational repression into statute. The ETGE emphasized that the human rights framework alone has proven insufficient, addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause: China’s colonial occupation.

“Turkistan, including East Turkistan, was explicitly named in the 1959 Captive Nations Resolution, not as part of China, but as a nation subjugated by Communist imperialism,” said Dr. @MamtiminAla, President of the ETGE. “We ask America to honor that truth, and to stand with our people’s just struggle to restore our freedom and independence.”

The ETGE emphasized that as a designated captive nation, East Turkistan has a clear legal foundation for U.S. support toward the recovery of its independence, and urged the U.S. Congress to recognize East Turkistan as an occupied country, modeled on the policy precedent established for Tibet, and to appoint a Special Coordinator for East Turkistani Issues at the U.S. Department of State.

“The restoration of liberty and independence for East Turkistan is not a dream. It is a duty enshrined in the Captive Nations Resolution,” said @SalihHudayar, ETGE Minister of Foreign Affairs and Security and President of the East Turkistan National Movement. “Governments must recognize East Turkistan as an occupied nation and support our people’s inalienable right to decolonization and national independence.”

The ETGE called on the United States, Congress, and the international community to introduce resolutions reaffirming East Turkistan’s captive-nation status, condemn 76 years of Chinese occupation, impose targeted sanctions on officials responsible for the ongoing genocide, counter Chinese transnational repression and influence operations, and support East Turkistan’s decolonization and the full restoration of its national independence and sovereignty

East Turkistan is NOT “a part of China;" it is a captive nation occupied by China since 1949. Public Law 86-90 recognized Turkistan among the captive nations whose desire for liberty and national independence must be kept alive. The U.S. must honor that law. #CaptiveNationsWeek

📰ETGE Condemns Türkiye–China “Security” Cooperation as Continued Betrayal Enabling Genocide and Transnational Repression

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) strongly condemns the July 16, 2026, political consultations between Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Miao Deyu and Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Berris Ekinci. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s readout, Beijing called for deeper “law enforcement and security” cooperation, while Ankara reaffirmed the “one-China principle” and vowed not to allow Turkish territory to be used against China’s claimed “sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.”

This is the latest chapter in a decades-long betrayal of the Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic peoples suffering under China’s genocide and colonial occupation of East Turkistan. Following an @AtlanticCouncil event, ETGE Minister for Foreign Affairs and Security @SalihHudayar met Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Levent Gümrükçü, urging Ankara to become a voice for East Turkistan and end its “security” and intelligence cooperation with China dating to 1996.

Ankara’s framing is a grotesque inversion of the truth. East Turkistan is an occupied country, the ancestral homeland of the Turkic peoples, and the cradle of Turkic civilization. China has illegally occupied and colonized it since the PRC invaded in late 1949, overthrowing the independent East Turkistan Republic. This is not Chinese “territorial integrity.” China is destroying Turkic sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This is not diplomacy. It is complicity. For nearly three decades, Türkiye has helped Beijing monitor, infiltrate, co-opt, criminalize, and suppress East Turkistan’s national independence movement. This collaboration has enabled Beijing to intensify its colonial occupation and genocide with impunity.

As Türkiye and People’s Republic of China mark 55 years of relations, millions of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples remain imprisoned, enslaved, subjected to forced sterilization, and separated from their children in occupied East Turkistan. China’s March 2026 “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” codifies China’s genocidal policies.

“I told Deputy Foreign Minister Gümrükçü directly that Türkiye must be a voice for East Turkistan and act against China’s colonial occupation and genocide,” said Foreign Minister Hudayar. “Instead, Ankara continues deepening cooperation with a genocidal empire bent on eradicating Turkic culture, identity, and existence in East Turkistan.”

Such cooperation makes Türkiye a proxy for Beijing’s transnational repression and complicit in China’s ongoing genocide against the Turkic peoples of East Turkistan. It allows China to co-opt diaspora organizations, coerce East Turkistani refugees, and suppress East Turkistan’s national independence movement globally. By helping Beijing silence resistance abroad, Ankara pushes East Turkistan toward irreversible demographic, cultural, and national destruction.

The ETGE demands that Türkiye immediately terminate all security, intelligence, and law-enforcement cooperation with China. It calls upon the international community to condemn Ankara’s complicity in Beijing’s global repression, counter China’s transnational repression, take concrete action to end the ongoing genocide, and support East Turkistan’s decolonization and restoration of national independence in accordance with its people’s inalienable right to national self-determination.

[Salih Hudayar @SalihHudayar]

As I conveyed to Deputy FM @LGUMRUKCU following the @AtlanticCouncil event on the @NATO Summit & the Future of U.S.-Türkiye Defense Relations, @MFATurkiye must be a voice for East Turkistan and act against China’s colonial occupation of the Turkic ancestral homeland & its ongoing genocide against Turkic peoples.

At the very least, Türkiye must end its ongoing so-called “security” & intelligence cooperation with China against East Turkistan, which dates back to late 1996.

📰East Turkistan and Tibet Demand U.N. Action on China’s Genocide and Colonial Occupation

NEW YORK — The East Turkistan Government in Exile and the East Turkistan National Movement joined the Tibetan Youth Congress and other Tibetan activists outside United Nations headquarters on Monday, July 13, to demand action against China’s genocide, colonial occupation and destruction of East Turkistan and Tibet.

The demonstration followed last week’s U.N. General Assembly debate on preventing genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Organizers criticized the assembly for failing to address China’s actions in East Turkistan and Tibet.

The protest came 11 days after Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen died after self-immolating outside U.N. headquarters on July 2 while calling for Tibetan independence. His death underscored the urgency of confronting China’s colonial rule in Tibet.

Participants chanted, “Act now, U.N.! Act to end China’s ongoing genocide,” along with “China out of East Turkistan,” “China out of Tibet,” “We want justice,” “Independence for East Turkistan” and “Independence for Tibet.”

“The United Nations’ refusal to act in the face of documented genocide and colonial occupation is a grave failure of its Charter responsibilities and a betrayal of the principles it was created to defend,” said @SalihHudayar, foreign minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile and leader of the East Turkistan National Movement. “We call on the United Nations and its member states to support an ICC investigation, impose targeted sanctions, recognize East Turkistan and Tibet as occupied countries, place them on the U.N. decolonization agenda, and support the restoration of their independence.”

The demonstration also marked six years since the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the @ETNational Movement filed a complaint with the @IntlCrimCourt seeking an investigation into genocide and crimes against humanity committed by Chinese authorities. The organizations have submitted four sets of evidence since 2020, but no investigation has been opened.

The groups also condemned China’s “Ethnic Unity and Progress Law,” saying it codifies forced assimilation, demographic colonization and the destruction of distinct national identities in East Turkistan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia and other territories under Chinese rule.

They called on the United Nations and its member states to demand repeal of the law, sanction the officials and institutions enforcing it, and act to prevent and punish China’s ongoing genocide. They also urged the General Assembly to place East Turkistan and Tibet on the U.N. decolonization agenda and affirm their peoples’ right to national self-determination and restored independence.

The groups said the United Nations cannot credibly commemorate past genocides while refusing to confront genocide and colonial occupation in the present.

United Nations Headquarters in New York to confront China’s colonial occupation, genocide, and systematic destruction of East Turkistan and Tibet, and to condemn the UN’s knowing and sustained failure to act.

Just last week, the UN General Assembly held a meeting on the responsibility to prevent genocide, yet it refused to address China’s ongoing genocide in East Turkistan and Tibet.

Six years have also passed since the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the East Turkistan National Movement first filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court - ICC seeking an investigation into China’s genocide and crimes against humanity. Still, no investigation

The United Nations cannot continue commemorating genocides of the past while refusing to confront the genocides and colonial occupations of the present.

End the Chinese occupation. Decolonize East Turkistan and Tibet. Restore East Turkistan and Tibet's Independence

[East Turkistan National Movement @ETNational]

Earlier today, we joined our Tibetan allies outside the @UN Headquarters in New York to confront China’s colonial occupation, genocide, and systematic destruction of East Turkistan and Tibet, and to condemn the UN’s knowing and sustained failure to act.

Just last week, the UN General Assembly held a meeting on the responsibility to prevent genocide, yet it refused to address China’s ongoing genocide in East Turkistan and Tibet.

Six years have also passed since the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the East Turkistan National Movement first filed a complaint with the @IntlCrimCourt seeking an investigation into China’s genocide and crimes against humanity. Still, no investigation has been opened.

China’s so-called “Ethnic Unity and Progress Law” is not a law of unity. It is the legal codification of forced assimilation, colonial subjugation, genocide, and the destruction of distinct national identities across East Turkistan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, and other Chinese-occupied territories.

For seventy-six years, our experience has demonstrated a fundamental truth: human rights can never be secured under colonial occupation. National self-determination and the speedy restoration of independence are the only effective guarantees of their observance.

We therefore call upon the United Nations, its member states, and the international community to:

1. Act immediately to prevent and punish China’s ongoing genocide and support an ICC investigation into China’s crimes in east Turkistan.

2. Demand the repeal of China’s racist and genocidal “Ethnic Unity and Progress Law” and sanction the officials and institutions enforcing it.

3. Recognize East Turkistan and Tibet as occupied countries and address the colonial occupation that lies at the root of the genocide.

4. Place East Turkistan and Tibet on the UN decolonization agenda and support the inalienable right of its people to national self-determination and the restoration of independence.

The United Nations cannot continue commemorating genocides of the past while refusing to confront the genocides and colonial occupations of the present.

End the Chinese occupation. Decolonize East Turkistan and Tibet. Restore East Turkistan and Tibet's independence.
