THREAD:

This world needs some love

I declare a hunger strike (الإضراب بالصيام) in meditative silence (جلسة الذكر) for
#STOPUigurMuslimGenocide

WHY? ....

25 years ago, at 15 years old I saw my Bosnian Muslim brethren subjected to genocide as UN soldiers watched Mladic’s militia slaughter 8370+ Bosnian Muslim men & boys in Srebrenica. This atrocity radicalised an entire generation of European & global Muslims, including me

I was active in London, Pakistan, Denmark & at 24 was illegally held in Egypt for ‘thought crime’ under emergency powers in the War on Terror as an Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience & witnessed friends tortured in Hosni Mubarak’s dungeons. My torture number was 42

After completing my 5 year illegal prison sentence, I wholeheartedly apologised for my own anger, calmed my soul & dedicated my life to peace & human rights for all, at considerable personal & emotional cost that I am still bearing

It was the right thing to do.

But horror from 25 years ago is back. Genocide against Uigur Muslims is perpetrated right now by the Chinese Communist Party in East Turkistan

Once again, this genocide is but an inconvenience for the world

I cannot let this happen yet again

#NeverAgain

In protest against CCP enslavement, rape & harvesting of my Uigur Muslim, Falun Gong, Buddhist or Christian brethren’s organs, I’m on hunger strike (الإضراب بالصيام) until the UK Parliament agrees to formally debate acknowledgment of the Uigur genocide

The US is showing us the way. We must pass UK legislation to prevent goods produced with Uigur Muslim slave labor from reaching our markets. Magnitsky Act sanctions should be explored. At the bare minimum, the UK must recognise the ongoing genocide. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/05/13/politics/uyghur-bill-senate-china/index.html

Senate approves Uyghur human rights bill

I went on hunger strike once before in my desert prison to defend a cell mate from being sent illegally to solitary. Few knew of us then. I lasted 11 days & our demands were met.

This is not a drill.

I won’t repeat the facts here in this thread. My feed contains evidence. Few dispute that 1-2 million Uigur Muslims are held in CCP concentration camps, and evidence for the CCP’s organ-harvesting human slave trafficking network is in my feed.

Just see my timeline.

I know this is inconvenient. I am sorry. But as a father I want to look into my 2 sons eyes & say: not on my watch, son.

Dear President Bush, PMs Blair,Brown &Cameron, Deputy PM Clegg,you have all met me privately. You all know my work. You know I am consistent

Thinkers,artists,activists,politicians &humans who follow me,if I once made you smile please do not just silently nod

This is not a drill

President @realDonaldTrump & PM @BorisJohnson, we are yet to meet. Perhaps one day we shall. For the moment, my hunger strike aims to push the UK Parliament to debate recognition of this silent & sanitised genocide against Uigur Muslims

Dear friends in or out of parliaments & positions globally:

This is a civilisational emergency

Stopping genocide is non-negotiable.

Neutrality in genocide is inexcusable.

I shall be calling upon you one by one to help me draw a line in the sand.

Please do not turn me away.

Never again tell me to calm down.

Until you make #NeverAgain a reality for us.

Genocide in China is happening now.

We didn’t forget you my brethren
They just weren’t listening so I had to climb
But they made a mistake
They gave me a microphone
Now I’ll not fail you
يا قوم الموحِّدين
يا أويغور المسلمين
تأخّرنا فأصبحنا غافلين
وَاعُونَ الآن

In the next few days you may see nasty trolling directed towards me by CCP agitprop accounts. Please do not engage them unless they are humans genuinely trying to understand.

Otherwise, ignore, block & stay focused on our mission.

They will look a bit like this:
