WUC Exposes Uyghur Forced Labour at UN Amid China’s Attempts to Silence Speakers

Geneva, December 2, 2025 — The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) raised urgent concerns at the United Nations about the ongoing forced labour of Uyghur communities in Xinjiang, highlighting human rights violations despite repeated attempts by China to suppress such testimony. WUC representatives detailed systemic exploitation in factories and coercive labour practices, calling for immediate international attention and action.

UN officials observed attempts by Chinese delegates to obstruct speakers, but the WUC persisted, emphasizing the need for global accountability and intervention. Observers noted that the confrontation underscores growing international scrutiny over China’s policies in Xinjiang and the resilience of advocacy groups pushing for Uyghur rights on a global stage.
