Geneva, Sep 16 (ANI): The Uyghurs and Tibetans carried a large-scale demonstration in Geneva on Friday, the first large-scale demonstration including a substantial Uyghur delegation since China’s Universal Periodic Review in 2013. The action consisted of a march of around 2,000 people from Palais Wilson to the Broken Chair Monument across from the Palais des Nations. The demonstration has been jointly organised by the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT), the Tibetan Community in Switzerland and Liechtenstein (TCSL), and the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), with the purpose of bringing together hundreds of demonstrators to bring attention to ongoing human rights violations against Uyghurs and Tibetans in China. The demonstration comes amid tremendous pressure against the Uyghur community in East Turkestan in terms of religious freedom and freedom of movement. China’s recently adopted ‘Anti-Terror’ Law has also legitimised continued collective punishment under the guise of security.
