Stop Uyghur Genocide – Commemorating the victims of the Urumqi Fire
The totalitarian Chinese Government is using its inhuman zero-Covid policy to intensify its genocide against the Uyghur people in East Turkestan. With the strict zero Covid policy, a statewide lockdown has been implemented. People have been ordered to stay inside their apartments, and authorities bolted, changed, locked, or even welded doors so that nobody could leave their homes.
On the night of the 23rd of November, an out-of-control fire enveloped a high-rise building in Urumqi, where many Uyghurs lived. Not only could fire trucks not reach the building but people were trapped inside their apartments, facing certain death, unable to leave the intense and raging fire, as all fire exits were locked. Consequently, 10 Uyghurs lost their lives, 3 of whom were children, and many more were wounded. But the number can be more than 40, according to many eyewitnesses.
At this critical moment, when the Chinese government is using COVID-19 as a new tool of genocide against Uyghurs, we call on all to join our protest against the Chinese government’s crimes against humanity.

The International Human Rights Act
Sunday, November 6, 2022, ISU joined a meeting discussing Bill C-281 (The International Human Rights Act) hosted by Members of Parliament Philip Lawrence and Garnett Genuis. Questions were asked about the Canadian government’s commitment to extracting political prisoners from East Turkistan and the role of Canadian finance in Magnitsky Act sanctions against Chinese officials. We thank MP Garnett Genuis and MP Philip Lawrence for inviting us to this discussion.
Starvation Genocide
This week will be our 2nd protest against the Starvation Genocide implemented in East Turkistan.
Starvation Genocide Protest
The Chinese government is implementing genocide since 2016 in East Turkistan by locking up Uyghurs in concentration camps and by using sterilization. In addition to this, China is publicly conducting literal executions and murders of Uyghurs by starving them to death by using "COVID" as an excuse to lock them up.
Uyghur Genocide Awareness
Uyghurs are suffering from the ongoing genocide under the Chinese government. More than 6 million Uyghurs have been locked up in concentration and forced labour camps. Children are separated from their families, and women have been systematically sterilized without their consent.
Uyghur Genocide Awareness Protest
On Sunday, August 28, 2022, ISU held a rally to call on the Canadian government to act to stop the genocide of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples by the government of China. Over 100 people attended the rally to show that they stand against China’s genocide of Uyghurs.
