Trump Hears Horrors Facing Uighurs in Chinese Concentration Camps
Almost 30 victims of religious persecution from 18 countries met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office Wednesday, receiving an unprecedented platform through the U.S. State Department’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom held this week in Washington, DC.
Jewher Ilham was one of those who met with Trump and she shared the plight of her father, a Uighur scholar sentenced to life in prison in 2014 for speaking out against the Chinese communist government. She also spoke with the president about the estimated 1 million or more Uighur Muslims that the regime has rounded up and put in “re-education camps” where evidence exists of torture and organ harvesting.
