Dear @rogerfederer I hope you are well & safe.
I have reached out to your spokesperson, Tony, on multiple occasions (since July 2020), and I have not heard back. This has forced me to reach out to you publicly.
I have some questions about your association with @Uniqlo.

I have some questions about your association with @Uniqlo.
1) Are you aware that @Uniqlo sources cotton from labor camps from Xinjiang province where million+ Uighur Muslims are living in concentration camps?

2) You are a brand ambassador for @Uniqlo. Are you comfortable knowing that this company is utilizing your name to whitewash its crimes & build a 'clean' and 'progressive' brand identity?

3. Last weekend, in New York City, I met a 7-year-old boy obsessed with tennis. He showed me a warm vest his parents had bought him.
"It is from Uniqlo. Do you know the G O A T goes there?" he told me.
He was talking about you.
Do you see the power of your association?

4. Your @rogerfedererfdn supports educational projects for children affected by poverty on the African continent. How do you reconcile the goals of your Foundation with your your association with a brand that uses forced labor to produce clothing?
PS. I did not tell the kid about your association with forced labor. Not yet, at least.
