Uyghur Woman Exiled In Canada Fears For Family Amid Genocide In China

2/16/2021

Have you heard of Uyghurs? Because they could be in the midst of one of the greatest human rights tragedies right now. They are an ethnic Muslim minority group in the semi-autonomous northwestern province of Xiajiang in China. And they are facing genocide: enslavement, murder, torture, enforced sterilization, forced organ harvesting ... And that's just the beginning to their end. 

This is my conversation with Raziya Mahmut - a woman who has escaped a potentially gruesome fate - while her family remains in China, amidst this genocide.
Since 2016, about three million Uyghurs and other ethnic minority groups have been swept up in probably the largest incarceration of an ethno-religious minority since the Holocaust. Their lives are unimaginable - and their existence is barely acknowledged.
Again ... murder, enslavement, wrongful imprisonment, torture, rape and other sexual violence, enforced sterilization, enforced disappearance, separation of children from parents, forced marriage and other crimes including forced organ harvesting ... all measures of genocide.

​Raziya is a full-time biologist in Canada, but still keeps up with her advocacy, as the vice president of International Support For Uyghurs.

She has two masters degrees and a Ph.D. in biology. She speaks Uighur, Mandarin, French, English, Turkish, Kazak, Uzbek.

And did all this against all odds.

Listen to her story - because too many people don't even know it exists.
