The Uyghur people are indigenous to East Turkestan [also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in northwest China].   For many years, the Chinese government has waged an intense and often brutal campaign to repress all forms of Uyghur dissent, crack down on Uyghurs\u2019 peaceful religious activities and independent expressions of ethnicity, dilute Uyghurs\u2019 culture and identity as a distinct people, and threaten the survival of the Uyghur language. The authorities have routinely equated Uyghurs\u2019 peaceful political, religious, and cultural activities with the \u201cthree evils\u201d \u2013 terrorism, separatism and religious extremism \u2013 and have couched their persecution of the Uyghurs as efforts to quash these \u201cthree evils.\u201d The authorities have also economically marginalized the Uyghurs in East Turkestan through intense and blatant racial discrimination in employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
