We are supporting this demonstration organised by Stop Uyghur Genocide, UK Uyghur Community & our affiliate, Uyghur Solidarity Campaign
On 5 February 1997, a demonstration by thousands of Uyghurs in Ghulja was met with deadly force by the Chinese state. At least 100 protesters were massacred for protesting against repression of their culture and freedom. In the days afterwards, thousands were arrested, hundreds of whom were imprisoned, abused or executed.
On Monday 5th February, on the 27th anniversary of the Ghulja massacre, we will be protesting at London's Chinese Embassy: to remember the dead, and fight for freedom for the living. We hope to see you there.
