The Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center, along with the Asia Policy Program, would like to invite you to our next event. Nury Turkel, Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, will join us on Friday, October 21st to discuss his new book No Escape: The True Story of China’s Genocide of the Uyghurs. Lunch will be offered.
No Escape: The True Story of China’s Genocide of the Uyghurs is a harrowing personal account of the biggest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century.
It describes conditions in the Uyghur homeland, referred to by the Chinese government as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. In the past few years, the entire region has been turned into an intensive surveillance state, with millions placed in modern-day “re-education” camps in what is the largest mass detention of an ethnoreligious group since the Holocaust.
