NEWS CENTER — The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) has published a striking new report that reveals the global scale of human rights violations in East Turkistan. The report, titled “Fading Ties: Uyghur Family Separation as a Tool of Transnational Repression,” uncovers how the Beijing administration uses family bonds as a weapon to silence the Uyghur diaspora worldwide.
According to the report, the Chinese government is systematically cutting off communication between Uyghurs in East Turkistan and their relatives abroad, executing one of the largest mass isolation and psychological terror campaigns in modern history.
Broken Ties Are No Coincidence: “Cross-Border Communication” Deemed a Crime!
Data from the UHRP report indicates that the connection between Uyghurs abroad and their families at home was almost completely severed during the peak of the concentration camp detentions between 2018 and 2019. Research shows that approximately 70% of Uyghurs living in the United States have been unable to establish any form of communication with their first-degree relatives in East Turkistan.
Leaked official Chinese databases (such as the Karakax List and the Xinjiang Victims Database) confirm the bitter truth behind this policy. Under Chinese law, simply having a relative living abroad or making an international phone call is treated as direct grounds for detention in concentration camps.
China’s Claims of “Freedom” Demolished While official Chinese authorities claim to the international community that Uyghurs are free to communicate with their families, the UHRP report proves with documented evidence that these statements are pure propaganda. Digital communications are heavily monitored, recorded by the Chinese police, and families face severe punishments for answering overseas calls.
Shocking Testimonies of Survivors: Learning of Deaths Years Later
The six Uyghur activists and diaspora members interviewed in the report describe the intergenerational trauma they endure in vivid detail:
- Perhat: Last spoke to his mother in 2018. He learned she was held in a concentration camp for six years before being released, but she still fears communicating with him directly.
- Yusup: States that his entire immediate family, including his mother, father, and siblings in Kashgar, are currently held captive in Chinese camps.
- Enver: Fled to Türkiye 20 years ago. He has lost all ties with his mother and two siblings in East Turkistan, not even knowing whether they are still alive.
This isolation inflicts a deep cultural wound on the younger generation of Uyghurs born abroad, who grow up entirely deprived of extended family structures, including grandparents and cousins.
International Law Violated: An Urgent Call to the UN and Global Community
The UHRP emphasizes that China’s policies of transnational repression and forced family separation constitute a flagrant and severe violation of the right to privacy and family life enshrined in the United Nations (UN) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
In its conclusion, the report calls upon the international community, democratic nations, and human rights organizations to impose deterrent sanctions against China’s illegal transnational repression mechanisms and to take urgent diplomatic steps to facilitate family reunifications.
