Since a brutal crackdown in 2016, the ethnic Uyghur minority have become prisoners within their own homeland. Over a million are detained in concentration camps and thousands are forced to work in factories as slave labor.

This panel will discuss the history of persecution Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities have faced at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as well as how the current atrocities amount to genocide. Rayhan Asat will recount her personal struggle to obtain information about her brother since his apprehension and internment in a detention camp. This panel includes Rayhan Asat (American Turkic International Lawyers Association), Mustafa Aksu (Uyghur Human Rights Project), Marcus Steiner (Crane Center for Mass Atrocity Prevention), and Amber Maze (Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council).
