In a potent display of moral resolve, Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign has expressed deep appreciation for the introduction of the Uyghur Human Rights Protection Act by bipartisan U.S. Representatives Suhas Subramanyam, Maria Elvira Salazar, and Gregory Meeks. This significant legislation aims to open pathways for Uyghurs and other persecuted ethnic groups in East Turkistan seeking refuge in the United States from the oppressive Chinese regime.
At the heart of this proposed bill is the Priority 2 (P-2) designation, allowing Uyghurs quicker access to U.S. asylum procedures. Moreover, it mandates the U.S. Secretary of State to enhance diplomatic measures to protect these refugees located in third countries, averting their potential deportation back to China, amidst rampant human rights violations.
Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid, President of Justice For All, lauded the initiative as a crucial advancement in addressing the dreadful humanitarian crisis confronting Uyghurs. He thanked the leading representatives for their unwavering commitment to safeguarding human rights in the region. Arslan Hidayat, Team Lead of the Save Uyghur Campaign, echoed this sentiment, asserting that this bill embodies a moral duty to protect those whose lives are in jeopardy from genocide.
Additional gratitude was extended to the numerous co-sponsors of the bill, which include prominent representatives, sending a resounding message that the plight of the Uyghur people remains in the world’s conscience. Justice For All fervently urges all legislators to support this critical legislation and underscores the importance of their swift passage to protect vulnerable lives held captive by a humanitarian crisis.
Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign commends the introduction of the Uyghur Human Rights Protection Act, which seeks to expedite asylum for Uyghurs fleeing persecution in East Turkistan. The bill mandates diplomatic measures to protect these refugees from extradition back to China. The campaign calls for bipartisan support to swiftly pass the legislation and affirm the U.S. commitment to human rights enforcement.
Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign celebrates the introduction of the Uyghur Human Rights Protection Act as a vital initiative to protect Uyghurs fleeing persecution. The bill’s provisions aim not only to expedite asylum for these individuals but also to enhance diplomatic efforts to safeguard them. Support from both sides of the aisle conveys an unwavering commitment to human rights, necessitating urgent action from Congress to prevent further atrocities against the Uyghur community.
