HMTC and its partner organizations seek to draw attention to the crimes against humanity, including genocide, of the Uyghur people in China today. Doctoral student, Lina Lenberg, will provide a background to the current crisis, as well as details about what is happening today. Then Uyghur survivor, Tursunay Ziyawudun, who spent nine months inside China's vast and secretive system of internment camps before being released and fleeing to the United States, will discuss her own experiences. Join us to learn more about this situation and how you can take action.
