[Below is a statement by the Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region, for which the Uyghur Human Rights Project is a Steering Committee Member]

We are aware of recent transnational repression, including death threats, against Uyghur human rights defenders. The Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region stands in solidarity with Uyghurs advocating for human rights. We deplore all transnational repression against any Uyghur human rights defender. We are especially concerned by repression and threats of violence aimed to intimidate and prevent organising by Uyghur advocates who are working to combat crimes against humanity in the Uyghur Region.
