Members of the Uyghur community in Washington and New York protested against China`s ethnic cleansing of minorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang and called on the US government and the United Nations to take more action against Beijing. Hudayar organised the protests in front of the US State Department in Washington and UN headquarters in New York. Last month, the US imposed sanctions on Chen Quanguo and two other Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials over human rights abuses in Xinjiang. They did not need any vocational training or re-education as China lied to the world," said Aziz Sulayman, 49. The protest was held under the aegis of Tibetan Community UK, the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), and Global Alliance for Tibet and Persecuted Minorities (GATPM).
