Looking for a quick primer on China's oppressive campaign against the #Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in #Xinjiang? The Economist has you covered in this video:

It's time to listen to what Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour have been saying for years: #racism in policing is systemic in Newfoundland and Labrador and across Canada. And we need to end it now. We call on Dwight Ball, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and whoever succeeds him on August 3, 2020 to work with racialized communities to comprehensively overhaul police oversight and to implement other anti-racist measures in #nlpoli. We must all demand better from o...ur political leaders. Join us and Amnesty International activists across Canada as we work together to end systemic racism in policing: https://takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/64258/action/1. See more

The Xinjiang I remember is slowly disappearing. Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities face systemic discrimination and surveillance. An estimated million Muslims have been held in internment camps. Don't let their voices vanish.

Since at least 2018, as many as one million #Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities have been held in concentration camps in #Xinjiang for no reason other than their ethnocultural identity. China thinks the world isn't watching but we are. Join us and other Amnesty International activists from around the world in demanding that the Chinese Government immediately end its campaign of arbitrary detentions.
