End Uyghur Forced Labour Public Event

“On Tuesday, the 10th of May (17h-18h CET), the Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region (www.enduyghurforcedlabour.org) is organising a public event in the European Parliament in Brussels to highlight the state-imposed forced labour faced by the Uyghur population and amplify the voices of the Uyghur community and their experiences in trying to defend their human rights and freedoms.

– Salima Yenbou, Member of the European Parliament
– Samuel Cogolati, Member of the Belgian Parliament
– Jewher Ilham, human rights advocate and daughter of 2019 Sakharov prize laureate, Ilham Tohti
