During my time at @harvard as an international student, I faced with life-changing event when my brother was taken hostage by the Chinese government. This experience was deeply unsettling. But, I found immense support from my friends in the @harvard community when I chose to share his story publicly

I’m grateful to Lukas Goyret for interviewing me about China’s atrocity crimes in Argentina. For Argentinians, concepts like enforced disappearance, torture, and arbitrary detention are all too real, given the country’s history with dictatorship. t.co/Vca0E3UbbB

!!!!! Devastating News!!!!

The Thai Prime Minister has effectively condemned 40 #Uyghur refugees to grave danger by repatriating them to China, despite their long-standing ordeal of severe mistreatment in a Thai refugee center & the well-documented risk of torture & possible death upon their return

Statement on my brother’s birthday.

It marks the 6th anniversary of Rehmutulla, a toddler who was left in the care of grandparent after his parents were sent to camps. He wandered off & was found dead in a cold winter. How many #Uyghurs kids like him? Would his death shock the consciousness of the world as it did in other atrocities?

So concerned about Ekpar. He’s not even allowed to call for 2 minutes lately. The last time he called my parents, he was forced to speak in Chinese. When you grew up speaking #Uyghur w/ family, speaking in Chinese is not just inconvenience 别扭 but takes away intimate connections

As demanded by @Harvard_Law students, @POTUS, @JakeSullivan46, @SecBlinken have fifty days to secure Ekpar’s release.

This travesty has gone 8 years & 8 months. Ekpar’s imprisonment for his participation in the @StateDept program violates every diplomatic norm. Bring Ekpar home.

What I wrote about this Uyghur family was painful but that’s the lived experience of Uyghurs.

I am sharing my quote in Foreign Policy Magazine about Uyghur women and what inspires and fuels them to lead international advocacy.

Today, the Intl Criminal Court rejected Israel's challenge over jurisdiction & issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu & Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crime. No government should attack the ICC to undermine it’s commitment to justice

There's so much happening in the world that it can feel overwhelming at times. This week, we saw yet another heartbreaking example of repression: Hong Kong authorities, now under the complete control of the Chinese government, sentenced 47 democracy activists.

Ken Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, and I had an excellent discussion with NYU law students about how authoritarian states reshape international law.
