Huseyin Celil’s tragic story is the epitome of the Uyghur struggle. A #Canadian detained in China since 2006 – simply because he is #Uyghur. #RecognizeCelil
Do you recognize Huseyin Celil?
Huseyin is a #Canadian who has long advocated for the #Uighur#community. Huseyin has been detained in #China since 2006 – simply because he is a Uighur.
It is time to bring Huseyin back home to #Canada.

"#Canadian#Uyghur-rights activist #Huseyin#Celil, whose case I took up as a parliamentarian in 2006 when he was first abducted and arbitrarily detained, has been imprisoned for 16 years, and has effectively been “forcibly disappeared.”" @IrwinCotler

‘The largest incarceration of a minority group since the Holocaust’: Canada must take action to stop the genocide of Uyghurs in China | @SarahTTeich Daniel Eisen @MehmetTohti Canada can’t turn away from its responsibility to act. https://t.co/yaSs6CGlBj
"Canada ratified the Genocide Convention. By doing so, agreed to take action to prevent and to punish genocide. What is happening to the Uyghurs is a genocide, and these countries are obligated to act."
Opinion by @SarahTTeich @MehmetTohti@Uyghuradvocacy

"Canada and like-minded partners should uphold their obligations and take action to stop the genocide," writes @SarahTTeich @MehmetTohti & Daniel Eisen.
The international community has options to stop the Uyghur genocide—they must be taken up ASAP.

The letter authored by China expressed “grave concern” about the Xinjiang report and aims to halt its release, according to sources.

"The case of Mr. #Celil is a priority for #Canada, as the Government of Canada continues to be deeply concerned with his detention. Canada has repeatedly raised Mr. Celil’s case with Chinese counterparts at the highest levels, and will continue to do so."

It has been 16 years & counting (5925 days) since "Uzbek authorities detained #Celil pursuant to a notice for his detention created by the Chinese government. He was barred from communicating with family or #Canadian officials." - @TheRWCHR's White Paper

#Huseyin#Celil’s heartbreaking story is the epitome of the #Uyghur struggle. He is a #Canadian who has advocated for the Uyghur community long before the world realized the #persecution that is happening. He has been detained in #China since 2006 – simply because he is Uyghur.
The Wallenberg Advocacy Group (@TheRWCHR) at McGill University Faculty of Law (@LawMcGill) published a White Paper on the persecution of Huseyin Celil.
Huseyin Celil, a #Canadian, has been imprisoned in China for the past 16 years. Enough is enough.

"Yet, while 16 years have gone by since #Huseyin#Celil's imprisonment, the #Canadian#government has failed to establish a single consular visit or inquiry into his circumstances." #Uyghur#Rights

We are proud to announce our publication of a White Paper identifying the violations of international law, as well as Chinese constitutional and criminal law, perpetrated by the PRC in persecuting Huseyin Celil. See here & join us in the pursuit of justice

This leaked list of over 10,000 #Uighur detainees sheds light on whereabouts of missing members of several families. In Canada, we continue seeking answers for #Huseyin#Celil, a missing Uighur Canadian forcefully returned to China in 2006 after fleeing.
