I call the meeting to order.
Welcome. We're continuing our committee's study on the human rights situation of the Uighurs.
Today we have Dr. Darren Byler, a post-doctoral lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington, who has written extensively and done quite a bit of research on the Uighurs.
Dr. Byler, welcome to our committee. We will start with your statement for 10 minutes, and then we'll go to rounds of questions from the committee members.
You may proceed.
