2025年12月21日,即12月22日,在纪念1949年东突斯坦共和国垮台76年以来的12月22日全国哀悼日之前,东突斯坦民族运动(东突民运)计划在华盛顿特区举行示威。 The East Turkistan National Movement (ETNM) is planning a demonstration on December 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C., ahead of the December 22 National Day of Mourning, marking 76 years since the fall of the East Turkistan Republic in 1949. ETNM正在敦促美国和其他国家承认东突斯坦为被占领土, 并依据国际法支持其独立, 援引美国《占领国法》及联合国决议。 ETNM is urging the U.S. and other nations to recognize East Turkistan as an occupied territory and support its independence under international law, citing the U.S. Captive Nations Law and UN resolutions. 该团体指控中国正在新疆对维吾尔人和其他突厥人实施种族灭绝,理由是监禁率过高,职业培训中心普遍发生虐待,包括酷刑和强迫灌输。 The group alleges China is committing genocide against Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in Xinjiang, citing disproportionate incarceration rates and widespread abuses in vocational training centers, including torture and forced indoctrination. 这些主张得到人权团体、记者和前被拘留者的支持,但中国否认这些主张,指出其政策的重点是反恐和经济发展。 These claims are backed by human rights groups, journalists, and former detainees, though China denies them, stating its policies focus on counter-terrorism and economic development.
