The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) is firing back at a fresh round of false claims targeting its leader, Rushan Abbas. The group calls it a sneaky smear campaign meant to knock down Uyghur human rights advocates and slow the growing push for justice.
WUC leaders say the attacks on Abbas, who chairs the executive committee, are total fabrications with zero proof. They’ve hit her before, and this fits a bigger pattern of fake news aimed at quieting bold Uyghur voices. Abbas has spent decades fighting for her people against what the group describes as persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
It’s not just Abbas facing this. WUC staff often deal with threats, deepfakes, and personalized online hits from shady, anonymous sources. These tactics target everyone in the organization, trying to scare them and wreck their reputations. WUC points the finger at CCP-linked disinformation strategies, which aim to erode global backing for Uyghur rights.
In a statement, WUC made it clear: these claims are baseless and come from dodgy, untraceable spots. They see the whole thing as a political ploy to distract from serious human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in East Turkistan, the Uyghur homeland.
The organization stands firmly behind Abbas and calls on governments, news outlets, and activists worldwide to spot these attacks for what they are—desperate moves to muzzle Uyghur leaders. By speaking out, WUC wants to shine a light on the tough road Uyghur activists face and the CCP’s ongoing efforts to crush dissent and twist the story of Uyghur suffering.
