The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) has expressed concerns about China’s increasing transnational repression and surveillance activities targeting Uyghurs abroad. In a detailed briefing submitted to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances on January 30, the WUC outlined ongoing human rights violations faced by Uyghurs both within China and internationally.
The organisation’s report emphasizes the risks posed by China’s surveillance tactics and calls for greater global accountability to address these abuses. The WUC urges the international community to take stronger measures to protect Uyghur rights and prevent further repression.
**Why this matters**
The issue highlights the broader challenge of state-led repression extending beyond national borders, affecting diaspora communities worldwide. Addressing these concerns is crucial for upholding international human rights standards and ensuring the safety and freedoms of vulnerable groups like the Uyghurs.
