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.  

China's CCP is on a path of self-destruction. It is only a matter of time. East Turkistan will be liberated. We are energised, commited and ready to struggle against genocide. CCP will fail.#Stand4Uyghurs
