As a globally-recognized champion for Uyghur democracy and human rights, President of World Uyghur Congress Dolkun Isa has faced intense persecution from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Forced to flee his homeland, Dolkun Isa’s siblings were sentenced to prison, his mother died inside an internment camp, and Dolkun Isa narrowly escaped extradition to China when the regime falsely issued an Interpol Red Notice on him. Despite this relentless persecution, Dolkun Isa has never ceased speaking out against the atrocities being committed against the Uyghurs. In his new book, The China Freedom Trap, Dolkun chronicles his life story pursuing justice and freedom for the Uyghur people, from early days in the 1980s as a student leader of pro-democracy demonstrations in East Turkistan to winning prominent human rights awards (including the 2019 NED Democracy Award) for his tireless advocacy. Join the author, acclaimed Washington Post journalist Josh Rogin, and former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Kelley Currie, to discuss Dolkun’s harrowing life journey, the behind-the-scenes diplomatic battles that Ambassador Currie helped him navigate, and what the international community can do to bring an end to the CCP’s genocide against the Uyghur people.

Join Author Dolkun Isa, Member of Parliament Sameer Zuberi, Margaret McQuaig-Johnston, Benedict Rogers for the Ottawa book launch of The China Freedom Trap, My Life on the Run

Dolkun’s journey is an incredible story of persecution by a totalitarian government only interested in silencing him and others. Freedom of speech, religion and assembly have not been possible in Xinjiang and the rest of China for decades. Here about is Life and continued advocacy for freedom and justice.

It’s a compelling tale of passion, perseverance and commitment.
