Uyghur community members and activists marched to the White House on Thursday evening to demand action over Beijing's treatment of Uyghurs and Tibetans. "So many of us live in a constant state of grief," said Omer Kanat of the Uyghur Human Rights Project. Rushan Abbas, executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs, rejected China's framing of the issue as internal: "Modern slavery is not an internal matter."
