This year marks the 6th #Eid I’ve spent without my sister. 6 long yrs of not knowing if she’s safe, fed, or healthy. It’s another year where the CCP’s genocide continue to evolve, erasing our culture & suffocating our faith. The Uyghurs deserve to celebrate Eid with their families #FreeGulshanAbbas

Forty innocent Uyghurs were forcibly sent back to China last night — delivered into the hands of their oppressors. This grave betrayal will stain the conscience of the world forever. Shame on the Thai government!

VP of Taiwan, Hsiao Bi-khim is delivering opening remarks at #RightsCon2025 in Taipei. As a crucial platform for HR advocates, experts & policymakers, #RightsCon fosters global collaboration to defend digital rights & freedoms in an era of escalating authoritarian threats & technological repression.

Today marks #UyghurGenocide Recognition Day & the 76th ann. of the #GenocideConvention. 3 yrs ago, the Uyghur Tribunal confirmed the #CCP's genocide against Uyghurs—a hard-won recognition. Yet, Uyghurs, like my sister #GulshanAbbas, still suffer. Failing to act undermines our pledge to "Never Again

It was an honor to attend Concordia Forum in Atlanta, Georgia to discuss Uyghur advocacy & human rights. I reflected on the urgent need for Muslim unity in countering autocracy & exposing China’s hypocrisy which claims to support #Muslim causes while waging a war on #Islam in the Uyghur homeland.

My sister, Dr. #GulshanAbbas, has been unjustly imprisoned by the #CCP since September 2018 in an attempt to suppress my activism as an #Uyghur American. I will never stop exposing #Beijing’s genocide. My love for her and my people motivates me daily to keep fighting on! #FreeGulshanAbbas
