Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in foreign language, interpreted as follows:] I'd like to add something and ask a question, if I may.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] I will share with you my own personal opinion about this issue.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] I would emphasize, first and foremost, that there is no such thing as school, in principle.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] This is very common. It's a standard thing. We are treated like toys. Anyone, anytime, can be taken into prison for no reason at all. Imagine, we're talking about millions of people who have been taken away for no reason.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] The reason is the information blackout in Turkey. For instance, I wasn't able to get residency even though I was accorded a lot of media interviews. My own children are not able to go to school. There are no schooling possibilit

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] It is an unknown issue.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] As I said, I'm not afraid to die, but since leaving Kazakhstan in 2017 and since giving my first media interview, I have been constantly harassed and threatened with death. I have received death threats. Even when I travelled to

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness speaks in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] There's no doubt about is happening: organ harvesting is happening right now.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness spoke in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] If I gave my opinion to the world, people would laugh at me. In March 2019, I testified before a UN tribunal in Geneva. I described in detail what had happened. So far, the international community has not responded because of t

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  [Witness speaks in Uighur, interpreted as follows:] I am a well-travelled person.
