On #HumanRightsDay, I'm thinking of my dear friend, novelist and poet Perhat Tursun.
For the crime of being born a #Uyghur, he has spent 3 years in China's internment camps, along with over a million others.
Please RT. #FreePerhat
Below, powerful lines from one of his poems:

Very happy to stand alongside my Uyghur brothers and sisters in Sydney today for International Human Rights Day. Their stories are so heartbreaking - each one of my Uyghur friends have family members in the camps. I wish more Australians knew about what was happening
Chinese authority threatened Uyghur family to get Uyghur students abroad back home. I have more than seven hundred students personal information who back to China and arrested.
Our new webpage documents the Chinese Communist Party’s blatant disregard for human rights. The United States will always stand up for those who are denied their fundamental human rights, including freedom of religion or belief and expression. https://t.co/YXn7t4jaZB

“Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn called out the ongoing genocide of the Uyghur Muslims by the Chinese Communist Party after a member of the Chinese state media hurled sexist profanities at the Republican on Twitter and labeled her the “most racist” senator”. @JusticeTristan
