The sentiment conveyed by @akida_p is real. The sheer size and scale of atrocity crimes reduce individuals to a number. It’s hard to shine a light on the plight of a million individuals all of whom have unique stories.
Standing w/ @akida_p & all other imprisoned individuals.
Today is my mother's birthday. I wrote this article for my mother, Rahile Dawut, who remains imprisoned far from her family.
I have told this story many times, but I will continue telling it until the day she is free. #FreeRahileDawut
“Sometimes I wonder if people are tired of hearing the same story repeated over and over. But the answer is simple: I keep repeating it because you are still in prison.”

Today is my mother's birthday. My mother should be celebrating her birthday surrounded by family, warmth, and love. Instead, she remains imprisoned. I will continue speaking for her until the day she is free. #FreeRahileDawut
🎂On the 60th birthday of #Uyghur professor Rahile Dawut, we have gathered messages from her friends, colleagues and former students.
Rahile was forcibly disappeared in 2017 and is reportedly serving a life sentence in #China.
Today we remember the many lives she has touched.
My mom spent her 9th Mother’s Day in prison. I wrote this article about my mother and the countless Uyghur mothers who remain imprisoned and separated from their children. #FreeRahileDawut#Freemymom#FreeUyghur
While the world celebrates International Women’s Day, many Uyghur women are imprisoned and separated from their families.
One of them is my mother, Rahile Dawut.
Today I remember them and ask the world not to forget.

Rahile: The Darkness Cannot Block the Bright Rays in Your Heart
Today marks eight painful years since my colleague Rahile Dawut was forcibly disappeared by the Chinese government. We stand with her today and every day. Rahile, you are not forgotten!
Today marks 8 years since China disappeared Rahila Dawut—a professor at my university, a brilliant and a kind soul who dedicated her life to preserving Uyghur culture. She deserves freedom, not imprisonment for her scholarship.
China must release her immediately.

My deepest thanks to the UN for recognizing my mother in their report. Her unjust imprisonment is not only my family's pain but also a profound human right tragedy.
