“Mom, dad, today is my wedding. Today you are not here. I don’t even have a single relative!” said an Uyghur girl in tears.

@RepLaurelLee is beautiful inside and out, listened to our personal stories today during our Uyghur Women Advocacy Week. We appreciate her time and support!
Many thanks to Rep. Laurel Lee for her warm support to the Uyghur women during our Uyghur Women Advocacy Week on the Hill. @RepLaurelLee heard Uyghur camp survivors’ stories and said she will continue to support Uyghurs’ rights and cosponsor relevant bills.
This week we’ve organized #Uyghur women’s advocacy week during #IWD & #WHM2023. We are visiting Capitol Hill with camp survivors to talk about:
-Atrocities against Uyghur women
-Transnational repression
-Bringing genocide victims to USA
-Passing the forced organ harvesting bill
Today, we visited the U.S. State Department and met with government officials to share the #Uyghur community’s struggles in Turkey,Japan as well as in the US in terms of transnational repression. We thank the @StateDept for continuing to protect and support the rights of Uyghurs!
Today, I met with high level officials of State Department and raised my sister Kamile’s case. They reassured that they will do their best to amplify my voice. Appreciate it @StateDept@SecBlinken.
As I promised, I will not stop until my sister is released.
