The content creator who visited East Turkistan was not allowed to pray at the Idgah Mosque which is one of the largest mosques in the region!
According to the content creator, it was said that prayers would be held in the mosque, but there was no congregation inside.
In other words, prayers are actually not being performed in the mosques.

East Turkestan: In Search of a Lost Land

On October 20, at Neslişah Sultan Cultural Center, we hosted esteemed journalist and author Taha Kılınç for a talk on his book “East Turkestan Travelogue.”

Kılınç shared his observations and firsthand experiences from his recent visit to East Turkestan, shedding light on the traces of oppression and the realities he witnessed there.
Throughout the talk, he revealed striking examples of how China’s systematic repression and assimilation policies manifest on the ground contrary to the official narratives and propaganda.

We sincerely thank Taha Kılınç for honoring us with his presence, all our guests for filling the hall with their great interest, and everyone who supported us along the way.

As ETHR, we had the pleasure of hosting Scott Worden and students from Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs ( ). During the meeting, we discussed ongoing academic research on China’s systematic human rights violations against the Uyghur people, the responsibilities of the international community, technology-based repression mechanisms—including AI-driven surveillance—and transnational repression practices targeting the diaspora.

As ETHR, we successfully held our event titled “East Turkistan Forced Labor Panel” on October 4, 2025!

Before the program began, we organized a blue ribbon activity together with the participants at the entrance, in support of the Sumud Flotilla.

The program started with a Qur’an recitation by Mr. Yusuf Kashgari. Afterwards, all participants stood together for the Turkish National Anthem and the East Turkistan National Anthem. Following this, ETHR’s new President, Mr. Abdureşid Eminhaji, delivered the opening speech. Then, a token of appreciation was presented to Mr. Nurmuhammed Turkistani, the former President and now Honorary Chairman of ETHR, for his dedicated service. Subsequently, Mr. Ibrahim Siddiq introduced ETHR’s new Executive Board.

In the second part of the program, we held the Forced Labor Panel. ETHR Researcher Mr. Yusuf Tusun gave the opening remarks, followed by our 2025 East Turkistan Internship Program interns — Sümeyye Korkut, Nihal Naşaran, Erva Özyurt, Nihal İmamoğlu, and Melike Feyza — who delivered their presentations. Afterwards, ETHR Researcher Ms. Vildan Kadıoğlu Sarıyaşar introduced the report titled “Forced Labor in the Agricultural and Food Sectors in East Turkistan: Global Overview and Policy Risks for Türkiye.”

In the final part of the program, we held the closing ceremony of the 2025 East Turkistan Internship Program. Team leaders from the Human Rights Diplomacy, Research, and Social Media teams presented the outcomes and achievements of the program. The interns were then thanked for their valuable contributions and presented with gifts.

We sincerely thank everyone who participated in our event and supported the Internship Program — especially the Satuk Bugrahan Foundation for Science and Civilization, our partners, our wonderful interns, and all our team members.

At the board meeting held by ETHR, our new president and board members have been determined. We congratulate all members taking office in the new term and extend our thanks to Mr. Nurmuhammed Turkistani, who served as president in the previous term and has now appointed the Honorary Presidency, as well as all former board members.

Under the new leadership, we believe that ETHR will resolutely advance towards its goals and continue to grow stronger.

Idris Hasan, a Uyghur Turkish with a Chinese citizenship who has been residing in Turkey since 2012, traveled to Morocco on a tourist visa from Istanbul on July 20, 2022. He was subsequently detained in Casablanca at the request of China and is currently held in a Moroccan Detention Center for deportation. The efforts of international civil society organizations and human rights advocates to secure Hasan's repatriation to Turkey have been ongoing for two years. Unfortunately, despite all efforts Hasan’s life remains at serious risk if immediate action is not taken. Hasan’s wife and three children are eagerly awaiting his return. For both family and humanitarian reasons, the release of Idris Hasan is not only a fundamental right for him but also for his family.

Laporan Hak Asasi Wanita di Turkistan Timur - 2023 (ETHRW)
Dipaksa berkongsi ruang tidur yang sama bersama pegawai pemerintah Han China, pencabulan hak asasi dalam aspek perubatan melalui kaedah kawalan kelahiran secara paksa, keganasan seksual di tangan kakitangan keselamatan China, paksaan untuk berkahwin dengan kumpulan etnik yang lain, dan paksaan pelajar sekolah menengah untuk bekerja di kilang di dalam keadaan tidak berperikemanusiaan; hanyalah sebahagian daripada diskriminasi berbentuk perkauman yang seksis dan tidak berperikemanusiaan yang dikenakan oleh pihak berkuasa China ke atas wanita Turkistan Timur.
Hak wanita yang merupakan bahagian penting dalam sistem pemerintahan yang adil telah dicabuli dengan teruk oleh negara China, yang akhirnya membawa kepada krisis kemanusiaan yang besar. Ketikamana Genosid Uyghur ditangani dan dibahaskan dalam konteks hak asasi manusia sejagat, diskriminasi dan penganiayaan berasaskan jantina yang dialami oleh wanita Uyghur, yang merupakan aspek tergelap dalam tragedi ini, belum diteliti secara menyeluruh.
Laporan Hak Asasi Wanita di Turkistan Timur oleh ETHR 2023 menjelaskan aspek genosid Uyghur dan pencabulan hak asasi manusia yang menjejaskan wanita dan mendedahkan pengalaman wanita Uyghur yang telah dijenayahkan oleh kerajaan China kerana identiti etnik dan agama mereka.
