Beijing uses silence as fuel for its repression campaign, says a Uyghur activist and author, who is calling on the Canadian government to address transnational repression by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Rushan Abbas is president of the U.S.-based Campaign for Uyghurs and author of the book “Unbroken: One Uyghur’s Fight for Freedom.” She told The Epoch Times in an interview on May 6 that her book is not just her personal story, but a window into how the international community is affected by the CCP’s “authoritarian playbook.”
