IUETO condemns all human rights violations against Muslims around the world

International Union of East Turkistan Organizations (IUETO) strongly condemns the latest invasion and brutality committed by Israel on innocent Palestinians at the al-Aqsa al-Sharif Mosque.

IUETO refers to the report of an unruly invasion by Israeli forces on 5th April 2023 (Wednesday) which resulted in serious injuries to 7 people and in addition to hundreds of others lightly injured while performing their tarawih prayers in the mosque. 400 others were arrested.

They were beaten with batons and guns to the point of causing injuries and suffocation. The Israeli force reportedly threw grenades and tear gas inside the mosque.

These actions by Israel force are against human rights to freely practice their religion in peace, especially during Ramadan, a sacred month for Muslims around the world. These acts are purely Islamophobic acts and challenge the sacredness of Islamic teachings.

Our people inside East Turkistan also currently experiencing the same cruelties against humanity by the Chinese regime, where Ramadan is prohibited by all means. Praying and fasting are designated as extremism tendencies by the regime.

In the name of solidarity and justice, IUETO urges the international community to be alert and to stand up together with Palestinian people who are under the constant brutality of the regime. At the same time, IUETO urges the international community not to be silent about the human rights and religious rights violations done to our people in East Turkistan by the Chinese regime.

IEUTO demands that Muslim world leaders demonstrate their solidarity by exerting political pressure until these cruelties to Palestinian and East Turkistani and other Muslim communities under oppression are stopped altogether.
