Panelists at this week’s FAS symposium event discussed the ongoing Uyghur crisis.
The Foreign Affairs Symposium (FAS) held an event titled “The Global Response to the Uyghur Crisis” on Tuesday, April 6. The evening’s panel, part of the symposium’s “Where Do We Go From Here?” speaker series, featured Nury Turkel, board chairman for the Uyghur Human Rights Project; Rushan Abbas, executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs; and Louisa Greve, director of global advocacy for the Uyghur Human Rights Project.
The event was moderated by FAS Co-Directors Ryan Ebrahimy and Margaret Hanson.
Over the past few years, the Chinese government has targeted the country’s Uyghur ethnic minority, detaining over one million people for weeks or years at a time. The U.S. State Department has since labeled these acts as a genocide.
