Uyghurs rally in Washington against Xi Jinping's US visit
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."
