Magnus Fiskesjö and John Weiss, Human Rights and Social Justice, hosted by Ute Ritz-Deutch, 4-5PM, Friday, 5 Oct. 2018, on FM 88.1, WRFI.org, in Ithaca, N.Y.

–Magnus Fiskesjö and John Weiss talk about the Uighurs, a Turkic Muslim minority in the Xinjiang province of China (formerly known as East Turkestan). They have been targeted by the Chinese government because of their ethnicity and religion. An estimated one million Uighurs have been threatened, disappeared or sent to so-called Re-Education camps. Those who have left China fear being forcibly returned. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have reported on this human rights crisis and the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) has compiled news sources as well.
