The Uyghur American Association (UAA) strongly condemns the Thai government's deportation of at least 40 Uyghur men to China. This shocking and inhumane act directly violates international law and Thailand's obligation under the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits the forced return of individuals to a country where they face persecution, torture, or worse.

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the Ghulja Massacre, a tragic event in which the Chinese government violently suppressed peaceful Uyghur demonstrators who were courageously protesting against religious repression, cultural erasure, and systemic discrimination.

The Uyghur American Association (UAA) has been advocating for human rights, freedom, and justice, and it has been a leading voice for the oppressed Uyghur people in East Turkistan since 1998.

Washington D.C. — Campaign for Uyghurs (CFU), Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), and Uyghur American Association (UAA) extend their gratitude to Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY), co-chairs of the Congressional Uyghur Caucus, for their introduction of the Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act (UGASA) (H.R. 8124). This critical legislation broadens existing sanctions on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and supports the Uyghur diaspora community.

The Uyghur American Association (UAA) commemorates the 26th anniversary of the Ghulja Massacre that took place on February 5, 1997. On this solemn day, we remember the innocent lives lost in the tragedy and pay our respects to the families of the victims.

The Uyghur American Association (UAA) is encouraged by the unanimous passage of Motion 62 in the Canadian Parliament. This motion, introduced by Canadian MP Sameer Zuberi, requests leveraging the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship portion of Canada’s Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program to expedite the resettlement of 10,000 Uyghurs over a period of two years.

The Uyghur American Association is glad to announce the formation of our Election Committee to regulate and maintain a fair election for it’s board members. The Election Committee has been ready to undertake new responsibilities and has established a set of guidelines determining the eligibility of candidates.

UAA is glad to announce that we have begun our advocacy efforts for these upcoming months as we connect with our Congressional Representatives on the urgent need of passing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (H. R. 1155). We call upon Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives to come together and pass this act as soon as possible.

The Uyghur American Association (UAA) expresses deep gratitude to the U.S. Department of State and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for officially determining that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) campaign of mass internment, forced labor, and forced sterilization against millions of Uyghurs and others in East Turkistan (Xinjiang) indeed constitutes “genocide” and “crimes against humanity.”

Following this order, all cotton and tomato products produced in East Turkistan will be prohibited from entering the U.S. The UAA appeals to U.S. allies to take similar, robust actions that hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable for their unspeakable crimes.

Today on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, we would like to commemorate the brave Uyghur and Chinese souls who gave their lives in the fight for democracy and freedom against the tyrannical Chinese government.
