On Sunday the 31st July thousands across the globe in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Toronto CA, Washington DC, Auckland NZ, Johannesburg SA, Istanbul, and Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane AUS took to the streets to demand the CCP ‘Stop the Genocide Now’.
A staggering 100+ grassroots Muslim organisations joined the movement in solidarity with Uyghur and other Turkic ethnic Muslims in occupied East Turkestan who are facing an ethnic, cultural and religious genocide at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.
Leading Muslim organisations, religious leaders and activists took to the stage to raise awareness, empower the community to get involved with the cause, and demand China end their oppressive policies.
