A Day in Solidarity with Uyghurs is a global event calling for an end to the Uyghur genocide in China. A recent webinar was co-organized by Justice for All Canada and the Canadians In Support of Refugees in Dire Need to spread awareness and garner support to end the genocide of Uyghurs. ETAC was a proud supporter of the event. The webinar included testimonies from human rights professionals and Canadian Uyghurs.
