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.

#RecognizeCelil

[Recognize Celil @RecognizeCelil]

We continue to pray for #Huseyin #Celil's #safety, #wellbeing and #release.

We continue to urge the #Canadian #government to end this long-lasting case by bringing Huseyin Celil back home to his #family & #kids in #Canada.

16 years. Enough is enough.

"#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

"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."

"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.

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.
