More than 2000 people gathered in Paris on October 2 and demonstrated against the ongoing rights violations of Uyghurs in Xinjiang by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).The protest was organised by multiple Uyghur organisations including the World Uyghur Congress and the Uyghur Institute of Europe. The protest saw the participation of hundreds of Uyghur youth who had travelled from various European countries as well as public figures like Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament (MEP) and French actress Lucie Lucas.The protestors marched from Bastille square to place de ka Republique shouting slogans 'genocide in progress' and 'Save the Uyghurs' and carrying banners and East Turkestan flags. During the speeches, a call was made to the international community to cancel all agreements between the European Union and China as well as boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022.Further, many speakers denounced the complicity of multinational fashion companies like Zara, Hugo Boss and Uniqlo, who continued to buy products produced by forced Uyghur labour.Earlier, the same day, the NGO 'SumofUs' in association with the World Uyghur Congress, held a protest outside the flagship Zara store in Paris's Champs-Elysees, against the brand's sourcing material from China that used Uyghur labour. This protest, timed to coincide with the Paris Fashion Week, was intended to draw the attention of other fashion brands to stop sourcing commodities from Xinjiang.Assal Khamraeva -Aubert, the World Uyghur Congress's representative in France and co-organiser of the event called on the French government to consider halting imports of products from Xinjiang that were produced using forced Uyghur labour. She added that the WUC hoped that apart from the international community recognising the Uyghur genocide, which would be a 'symbolic victory' it was also important to have an impact at the "economic level'.Ibrahim Bechrouri, campaign manager of "SumOfUs" warned that similar protests would be organised in other European capitals including in Spain.Some of the protestors specified the demands made by the movement, in particular, "the cancellation of the treaties signed between the European Union and China but also the cancellation of the Olympic Games in Beijing 2022", due to the "massacre" of Uyghurs.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
