To show solidarity with the people of #Tibet, on the 62nd anniversary of #TibetanUprisingDay, Uyghur American Association joined the protest demonstration with Tibetan Americans & Tibetan supporters in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC.

We told our Tibetan brothers and sisters that we, Uyghurs, are with them on this fight against brutal Chinese Communist Party. China occupied East Turkistan in 1949, Tibet was occupied year after. With the decades long oppression, the CCP assimilated and eliminated many Nations within the borders that it controls. However, they have not been able to assimilate and eliminate Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians. We are brave, cultured and independent-minded people with thousands of years of proud history. We have strong unshakable religious beliefs. These are our shields against fascist and racist Chinese communists. Since the Chinese occupation, we have never stopped our resistance against cruel and unjust rule, never stopped demanding for our freedom. The March 10 Tibetans uprising is an inspiration to all of us.
