Büğün Türk makamları tarafından tekrar sınır dışı edildim. 2006'dan beri seyahat yasağım vardı ama bu yıl seyahat yasağım Ankara İdare Mahkemesi tarafından kaldırılmıştı. DUK'un eski ve kurucu başkanı Erkin Alptekin'i hastanede ziyaret etmek için bugün Ankara'ya gelmiştim.
I am very happy to share the same panel with my longtime friend Kaori Arimoto. I am deeply grateful for your participation despite the car accident yesterday. my friend Kaori, I hope you recovery soon. best wishes to you.
Turkey as my second home, and yet I am still being denied entry. I wish to be able to enter Turkey to visit friends, professors and for vocations. I hope that the court will make the right decision, and correct this administrative error that has prevented me entry since 2008.
Geçe uçağı ile Almanya’ya geri geldim. Yoğun bakımda olan değerli abim Erkin Alptekin ziyaret etmek için gitmiştim. Ankara havalandan geri çevrildim. Aslında geri çevrilen ben değilim Türk adaleti, Türk mahkemesinin verdiği karar oldu. Hakımlara acıdım, onlarda özür dilerim!
I cannot say "happy mothers day" to my mother. She can’t hear my voice. because she was killed by the CCP in one of the concentration camps in May 2018. My story is not unique to other Uyghur mothers. Please save Uyghur mothers before celebrating mother's day. I miss my mom!
It is a great honor for me to meet Ms. Sanae Takaichi, Japan's Minister of Security and Economy, in her Parliamentary office, accompanied by
@arimoto_kaori
&
@realuyghurj
. We talked about China and Uyghur issues and Japan's obligations at the international and domestics level.
It is a great honor for me to meet
@KishiNobuo
, Special Adviser to Japanese Prime Minister Mr.Kishida on National Security Policy and Nuclear Disarmament. He was the Minister of Defense. He is the brother of former PM Shinzo Abe. We conveyed our condolences to him for Abe.
Today we have witnessed how strong the ties of our so called Muslim brothers and sisters are with China. No Muslim countries except Somalia on the Human Rights Council voted in favor of a resolution asking for a debate on the Uyghur at the upcoming council.But we will not give up
33 years ago, on June 15, 1988, I and my Friends held a demonstration to call for an end to the CCP’s oppression of Uyghurs. The student leaders were placed under house arrest, and me and Waris were expelled from the University. this picture is a only memory with my classmate.
Sayın Genel Başkan Meral Akşener hanımefendi, Doğu Türkistanlıların bu zor günlerinde yanımızda olduğunuz için çok teşekkür ederim. Hakkın yanında, zalimin karşısında cesurca duruşunuz bize umut vermiştir.
Dünya Uygur Kurultayı Başkanı Dolkun Isa'ya verdiğiniz sınır dışı kararının sebebini de açıklayın, hepimiz öğrenelim.
Gerçekten haklı bir gerekçeniz mi var;
yoksa zulme sessiz kaldığınız yetmiyormuş gibi artık Çin'den de mi talimat almaya başladınız, hepimiz bilelim.
The World Uyghur Congress strongly condemns the horrific attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians and is deeply concerned about the prospect of escalation of conflict and further loss of lives. We stand in solidarity with all those suffering from terror and war, and we keep all
I am extremely saddened by the shocking news of the killing of
@AbeShinzo
, former PM of Japan.
I remember when we met in May 2008 to talk about the Uyghur issue. He was a fervent believer of democracy & human rights and a friend of Uyghurs.
I send my condolences to his family.
Today marks the 5th year since I learned the death of my mother in a concentration camp in 2018.
Not a day went by without thinking about her suffering at her age in a camp.
I haven’t even been able to see her one last time before she passed away.
I still haven't found out
I am happy to announce that my book has been launched in Japanese, here in Tokyo 🇯🇵.
I hope that Japanese readers will learn more about China’s transnational repression and the

a little more.
I thank the translator, Mira,
@arimoto_kaori

We deeply appreciate the Global Imams Council's Statement. Boycotting the Beijing 2022 Olympics by a major Islamic organization is a very important step. I believe that this statement will have a great impact on the leaders of Islamic countries and Muslim athletes.
As we’re about to leave Tokyo, I am reflecting on the
@IUFforum
and the positive feedback we’ve been receiving.
I thank everyone who contributed to making this a successful and productive Forum.
Goodbye Japan 🇯🇵!
Dear Primer Minister, You are not only defending the UK Citizin, but also you are protecting the global value of democracy and freedom of expression! Thank you!
The MPs and other British citizens sanctioned by China today are performing a vital role shining a light on the gross human rights violations being perpetrated against Uyghur Muslims.
Freedom to speak out in opposition to abuse is fundamental and I stand firmly with them.
I have safely arrived in Paris, ahead of the vote on the resolution recognizing the Uyghur genocide in the French National Assembly. Upon my arrival, my friends from the Uyghur community, camp survivors all welcomed me warmly.
"This is a disaster. This is disappointing," said Dolkun Isa, president of the World Uyghur Congress, whose mother died in a camp and whose two brothers are missing. "We will never give up but we are disappointed by the reaction of Muslim countries,"
2008den beri Türkiye'ye girişim yasak. 8 hazıran Avukatim aracalıgı ile hakım karışına çıkacağız. Türkiye'yi ikinci Vatan olarak görüyorum, Arkadaşlarımı, hocalarımı ziyaret ve tatil için Türkiye'ye girmek istiyorum. Umarım mahkeme doğru kararı verir ve bu idari hatayı düzeltir.
This book, based on my personal experiences, is an effort to illuminate and bring awareness to the dangers of the CCP. Despite living in free world, I’ve continued to face injustices. I’ve been deprived of my freedom. My dignity has been trampled upon, detained, interrogated
Today I am deported again by the Turkish police. I had a travel ban since 2006, but the travel ban was lifted by the Ankara Administrative Court in June. I came to Ankara today to visit Erkin Alptekin, the former president of WUC at the hospital. Court decision is meaningless

“This is a historic day for Uyghurs. We can only hope that the world takes meaningful step to end the genocide, crimes against humanity and torture [against Uyghurs and other Turkic people]”

Today is Father's Day! I can't say “Happy Father's Day” to my Father. My father is not alive, I don't even know his grave. My father also did not know about his father's (My grandfather's) grave, because in 1934, when my father was 4-5 years old, his father was arrested by the
I am so honor to see you again at the MSC2023,
@SpeakerPelosi
!
Your strong stance on the Uyghur genocide over the years has given the Uyghur community a lot of hope.
I and my colleagues landed to London for the Uyghur Tribunal. The boring thing is that we will be quarantined for 5-10 days. It doesn't matter. Millions of innocent Uyghurs and Other Turkic peoples have been locked up in concentration camps by the CCP since 2016.
Today marks the 52nd birthday of Prof. Ilham Tohti, unjustly imprisoned and isolated in a single cell like millions of innocent Uyghurs. He is Sakharov Award receiver. He must be unconditional released.
Proud to stand with MP
@sameerzuberi
in defending human rights. We supported his motion to resettle 10k persecuted Uyghurs beginning in 2024.
Canada is a leader in refugee resettlement & will always do its part to defend human rights on the world stage.
Today, I am at the European Parliament in Strasbourg to follow the debate on the resolution tabled on the recent Urumchi fire and the victims as well as the protests in China and the violation of freedom of expression.
We cannot forget Uyghur voices in these times.
📢 Press Release:
The WUC strongly condemns 🇨🇳 sentencing Hushtar Isa, brother of WUC President,
@Dolkun_Isa
, to life imprisonment. The WUC expresses its sincere support & solidarity to Dolkun Isa and his family, in the face of these retaliatory actions.
34 years ago, on 15 June 1988, we started the resistance movement against the CCP's policy of repression against the Uighurs. We published the magazine. Me and my friends were put under house arrest, then me and Waris Abebekri were expelled from the University.

On Feb 27th, my Twitter account was hacked by hackers (possibly CCP hackers). As a result of the hard work of my team, my twitter account was recovered after 24 hours. However, all the information I tweeted and shared since 2011 has been deleted. This was a huge loss for me.
Today marks 3 years since the abduction of Dr. Gulshan Abbas, mother of
@ziba116
and sister of

We all have lost our loved ones at the hands of the Chinese govt. We demand their freedoms. It’s high time to hold China accountable.
#FreeGulshanAbbas
This is an urgent appeal in response to the humanitarian crisis faced by the refugee Uyghur community in Turkey. They have no food, no right to work and no support. They live in fear of being sent back to China.
Support vulnerable Uyghur families today
Today, the European Parliament in Strasbourg passed an urgent resolution on the recent Urumqi fire and its victims, on the protests in China and the violation of freedom of expression.
Thank you to all MPs who supported the Resolution.
I'm not surprised at China's attempt to stop my statement today at UN. but surprisingly, the China is using some polite language this time. because China always attacked me with offensive words like "terrorist".
WUC President
@Dolkun_Isa
spoke during the Interactive Dialogue with the
@UN
Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide at the
#HRC47
.
Although no ''humiliating'' language was used,
@Chinamission2un
has raised a point of order to prevent him from speaking.
I am delighted to announce that Uyghurs around the world have re-elected me as president of the WUC. It is an honor to serve my people,and I want to thank everyone that have congratulated. We have a long way to go to end Uyghur genocide. I will do my best to do this cause justice
Today, the World Liberty Congress is gathering over 200 delegates representing 56 countries under autocracies, to institutionalize this global alliance of freedom fighter and pro-democracy activists at its first General Assembly.

about to challenge the UK government's failure to investigate and halt imports of Uyghur forced labour cotton from China. Stay tuned.
Today, we attended the 54th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
During item 4 General Debate, the EU and 16 States (Czechia, Finland, USA, Belgium, Germany, UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, Japan, Norway, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland) raised the
With the reception we officially launched the WUC London office. It was great to see so many friends at the reception. Many thanks to all friends and supporters. Ms.Rahime, UK director of the WUC, has done excellent work in the UK.
We paid a condolence visit at Mrs.Abe's home. We had a very good chat for over an hour. I was stunned by Abe's deep knowledge of the Uyghurs and her dedication to the Uyghurs. Even while mourning her husband's death, we were touched by the thought of the future of the Uyghurs.
The UN Human Rights Council held a farewell segment for the High Commissioner.
Except a few countries and NGOs, everyone else have recognized her work. However, I am very disappointed again about this situation.
At the end, everyone stood up and applauded her.
We didn’t.
UNPO's 17th General Assembly was successfully concluded in Barcelona. The Resolution on East Turkestan was adopted.
UNPO'nun 17. Genel Kurulu Barselona'da başarıyla tamamlandı. Doğu Türkistan ile ilgili karar kabul edildi.
The CCP will hate this photo! What an honour to meet World Uyghur Congress President Dolkun Isa today. The Chinese government have hunted
@Dolkun_Isa
for years, falsely accusing him of terrorism and persecuting him through Interpol. He has never given up. Great human rights hero!
It was my pleasure to see my long time friend Thubten Wangchen in the Tibet House, in Barcelona. He's been supporting our work since a decade, and I appreciate allies like him. Uyghurs stand with Tibetans.
After a long 19-hour journey, I returned home safely from Taiwan to Munich.
19 saatlik uzun bir yolculuğun ardından Tayvan'dan Münih'e -Eve sağ salim döndüm.
You lost your niece, I lost my mother. Almost every Uyghur family loses their loved ones, but we never lose hope! I believe we will find our freedom! China will pay the penalty for this crime. I express my sincere condolences to you and your family!
RFA confirmed that My niece Mihriay died at the detention center where i detained in Kashgar, she got arrested during the cleaning Abduweli's influence campaign started in Kashgar 2020, i hate myself couldn't save any one but lost my niece there
I thank the US Government for mentioning my detained brother, Hushtar Isa's case along with other important cases of disappeared

Doğu Türkistanin özgürlüğü için çalışan DUK başta olmak üzere birçok Doğu Türkistan teşkilatına iftira atıp karalamaya çalışan Çin(ÇKP) muhipleri, hakkaniyet ve adalet karşısında mağlup olmaya mahkumdur. DUK Olarak Tümtürk’ün yanında olduğumuzu belirtiriz.
China, by inviting so-called World Muslim Communities Council leaders to ET, is still trying to deceive the world. It is a fact that China has been engaging in a genocidal policy toward Uyghurs, and at the same time, China declared war against Islam.
Yesterday myself and
@OmerKanat1
met Rabbi Diego Ariel Vovchuck as part of our visit to Argentina. He expressed solidarity with the Uyghurs in our own struggle against genocide. We are grateful to the Jewish community for being a friend & ally of our people when we need it most.
It is scandalous that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights went to China and East Turkistan without being able to even condemn the government for committing genocide.
She has failed her mandate. The Uyghur community deserves accountability more than ever.
🚨PRESS RELEASE🚨
The WUC expresses its deep disappointment with UN High Commissioner's (
@mbachelet
) visit to
#EastTurkistan
.
The visit has turned out to be a propaganda opportunity for China to whitewash its crimes.
WUC joins over 90 Muslim organizations around the world in an open letter to the OIC ahead of their Assembly of Foreign Ministers on December 19th.
The letter urges the OIC to break its silence on the genocide of Uyghurs.
I've had the pleasure to exchange with
@finnlau_cd
during my visit to London. He received an arrest warrant with a 1 million HK$ bounty for his activism. Together, we must stand against transnational repression.
Goodby London!
Madam

It's time to say goodbye to Buenos Aires but we will be back again soon. We sincerely hope that it is not wrong to believe in Argentina's independent justice system.

During Item 2, Interactive Dialogue of the the UN Human Rights Council 50th Session. The Turkish delegation condemned China's repression of the

and demanded the publication of the High Commissioner's report on the Uyghurs. Many thanks to Turkey.
I want to thank Olivier Faure, Dilnur Reyhan and Memtimin Abbas for their tremendous work on pushing the Uyghur genocide resolution at the French National Assembly. Today’s victory is major for our community.
We joined the march to support Hong Kong in London. It is our duty to stand together against the CCP.
Londra'da Hong Kong'u destekleme yürüyüşe katıldık. ÇKP'ye karşı birlikte durmak görevimizdir.
Today, we commemorate the Roma and Sinti victims that were massacred 77 years ago at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. 4300 innocent people were killed there for simply existing, along with 500 000 Roma and Sinti that were murdered in Europe during the Holocaust.
I had a successful first launch of my book, The China Freedom Trap in Toronto, Canada!
I thank my community and my publisher Dean for organising this memorable event. You can purchase the book here:
Today I am very warmly received by Senator Pavel Pavel, chairman of Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security in his office in the Czech Senate. I expressed our gratitude to him for his amazing work on Uyghur issues, especially for his initiative to past the Uyghur genocide.
The WUC team landed in London for the second set of hearings of the
@UyghurTribunal
starting on the 10th until the 13th.
In the face of impunity, we must try to find ways to expose the truth and hold the perpetrators to account.
