APPEAL IN SUPPORT OF UYGHUR NONVIOLENT LEADER REBIYA KADEER

We undersigned Members of the European Parliament express our solidarity to the Uygur people, victim of the age-old oppression perpetrated by the Chinese regime in East Turkestan (Xinjiang region) and everywhere they are persecuted. In particular, we assert our support to Rebyia Kadeer, President of the Uygur World Congress, nonviolent leader and Member of the Nonviolent Radical Party, transnational and transparty, who served a six-year detention in Chinese jails and to her two sons Alim and Ablikim who are being detained for months. To seize the opportunity for a possible truce given by the incoming Olympic games and considering that the defence of human and political lights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the best radical tool to counter any form of terrorist aberration, we warmly call on the Chinese Government of the day to drop all accusations which criminalise an entire people and to respect effectively the Pact on Civil and Political Rights for the very Chinese citizens and for all the peoples of that live in China.

by Nonviolent Radical Party, Transnational and Transparty.
