“ #Beijing ’s mass arrests and widespread use of police violence exposed its profound fear and deep mistrust of peaceful protest... the international human rights community must stand with rights defenders in #China...” said @reixia.bsky.social

Yashar Shohret, a 24-year-old singer and songwriter, was detained by Chengdu police on Nov. 27, 2022, after performing an elegy in Uyghur at a public mourning service for the #UrumqiFire victims. He was among the #BlankPaper protest supporters that #Beijing targeted.

"I am the one in the overturned bus;
I am the one denied treatment when sick;
I am the one walking hundreds of miles;
I am the one breaking down and jumping off a building;
I am the one trapped in the fire.
If it’s not me now, then I’ll be next."

Remembering another fire: It’s the 3-yr anniversary of the #whitepapermovement, which started also after a deadly #fire in a highrise building: the #Ürümqifire in 2022 that killed more than 10 but remains under investigated. It was in a Uyghur Muslim region under China’s zero-Covid policy

Two years later, #Beijing continues its crackdown on Blank Paper protesters. @chrdnet.bsky.social urges the global human rights community to act and hold Chinese authorities accountable. #UrumqiFire

From #rap to double incarceration - the impossibility of being #uyghur in #china "As a rap artist who expresses himself in his mother tongue, the police seized upon fragments of his lyrics to label him “extremist”."

University student Kamile Wayit shared a #BlankPaper protest video on social media in Nov. 2022. Police arrested her a month later and the court subsequently sentenced her to 3 years for "advocating extremism." She may be silenced but not forgotten.

Event Flyer: Ürümqi Fire Candlelit Vigil we still remember it 24 Nov 2024 18:00 - 19:00 Dam Square, Amsterdam Two years ago, a fire broke out in a high-rise building in Jixiangyuan community, Ürümqi, a city in Eastern Turkistan that had been colonized and oppressed by China for 75 years. Videos revealed that pandemic control fences blocked fire trucks from entering, and locked fire exits trapped residents inside. Strict lockdown policies from the Chinese government led to the deaths of at least ten people, all of them Uyghurs. In the days following the fire, protests broke out in Ürümqi, as people came together to demand justice for the victims and an end to the Covid lockdown policies. Along with Peng Lifa's one-person protest on Sitong Bridge in Beijing one month prior, the fire ignited indignation and demonstrations across China. People mourned on the streets with flowers, candles, and blank sheets of paper, calling for freedom and justice. Thousands in cities around the world stood out in solidarity, forming the White Paper Movement, the first major protest since 1989.
