About Us

We are a UK-based grassroots campaign, led by Uyghur human rights activist Rahima Mahmut. We seek to bring together individuals and organisations to campaign for the human rights of Uyghurs.
We aim to build awareness in the UK of the crimes being committed against Uyghurs and other Turkic groups by the Chinese Regime. We would like to see UK society – from NGOs to faith groups to student societies – doing all it can to speak out against the infringement of Uyghur people’s human rights, and to challenge complicity. We work with communities, congregations and consumers to help people to come together to take action to protect Uyghurs and prevent genocide.
