MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

DEAR READER,

As we look back on 2024, I am filled with deep gratitude for the dedication, courage, and solidarity shown by all who stand with Stop Uyghur Genocide. This year has been marked by persistence in the face of adversity, a year where truth, advocacy, and collective action have continued to cut through silence and indifference.

Throughout 2024, SUG has strengthened its voice in Parliament, built new alliances across communities, and worked tirelessly to expose corporate complicity in forced labour. Our campaigns challenging unethical supply chains and calling for political accountability have gained important traction, helping to push the Uyghur crisis higher up the UK’s political and moral agenda. We have stood alongside partners and legal advocates who achieved significant progress in holding perpetrators to account and in advancing justice for the Uyghur people.

Beyond advocacy, we have continued to celebrate the resilience and cultural richness of the Uyghur community through art, music, and storytelling. These moments of creativity and remembrance, from vigils to cultural gatherings, reminds us that our fight is not only against oppression, but for the preservation of life, identity, and freedom.

As we move forward, our mission remains steadfast: to seek recognition of the Uyghur genocide, to challenge indifference wherever it exists, and to ensure that no government or business profits from human suffering. Your continued support — through activism, generosity, and shared conviction — strengthens our resolve to keep pushing for justice.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we will continue to speak truth to power and defend the universal values of freedom and human dignity. With gratitude,

Rahima Mahmut

Executive Director, Stop Uyghur Genocide

OUR VISION, MISSION, AND VALUES

OUR VISION

At Stop Uyghur Genocide, we envision a world where the Uyghur genocide and human rights abuses are eradicated, where the Uyghur people can live with dignity, safety, and freedom. We work towards having a world that not only acknowledges the rich cultural heritage of the Uyghur community but also actively protects their rights, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected.

We believe that the lessons of history remind us of the fragility of freedom and the dire consequences of inaction. Therefore, we are committed to fighting for the freedom of the Uyghur people and ensuring that their struggle is never forgotten, reinforcing the imperative that we must collectively advocate against oppression and tyranny to prevent the loss of liberty for any community.

OUR MISSION

Our mission at Stop Uyghur Genocide is to prevent the ongoing genocide of the Uyghur people and to advocate fiercely for their rights both in the UK and internationally. We are committed to raising awareness about the severe human rights violations faced by the Uyghur community, including arbitrary detention, forced labour, forced sterilisation, organ harvesting, mass surveillance and cultural erasure. Through strategic advocacy, we aim to influence government policies and mobilise public opinion to support decisive action against these atrocities.

We are calling on the UK government to officially declare the ongoing abuses as genocide and to take appropriate actions in international courts. Additionally, we demand the cessation of all trade that involves Uyghur forced labour and the systemic rights abuses of the Uyghur people. By empowering the Uyghur diaspora and their allies, we ensure that their stories and struggles are at the forefront of the global conversation about human rights, reinforcing the urgency for accountability and justice.

OUR VALUES

Our work is guided by core principles of justice, solidarity, and empowerment. We believe that every individual deserves the right to live free from oppression, tyranny and violence. At Stop Uyghur Genocide, we stand in solidarity with the Uyghur community and all those fighting for justice, recognising the interconnectedness of our struggles.

2024 YEAR IN REVIEW

JANUARY

The year began with powerful advocacy and remembrance. Rahima Mahmut addressed the 12th Annual Doctoral Research Workshop on gender inequality in Central Asia and spoke at Holocaust Memorial Day events, including a screening of In

Search of My Sister and a commemoration at Kingston University alongside Sir Ed Davey MP. These events deepened interfaith solidarity and renewed focus on defending women’s rights under oppression.

FEBRUARY

SUG marked the 27th anniversary of the Ghulja Massacre with a protest outside the Chinese Embassy, joined by allies from the Uyghur, Tibetan, and Hong Kong communities. Rahima Mahmut gave oral evidence to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, urging stronger UK action against the Uyghur genocide. The month also featured cultural solidarity events and a fundraising concert by the Miras Silk Road Collective, celebrating Uyghur heritage through music.

4

MARCH

In March, SUG amplified women’s voices and international advocacy. Rahima spoke at UNISON’s International Women’s Day event, joined the Tibetan Uprising Day march, and participated in a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum panel on China’s mass atrocities. SUG also submitted evidence to the House of Lords Modern Slavery Committee, pushing for stronger laws to prevent Uyghur forced labour.

APRIL

SUG co-hosted an iftar marking the Baren Massacre anniversary and participated in the Disrupting Uyghur Genocide conference in New York. In Parliament, Rahima met with MPs to discuss ethical solar supply chains and spoke at the APPG on Uyghurs AGM. She concluded the month with a keynote at Threads of Resistance, hosted by the U.S. State Department and UHRP, on preserving Uyghur identity amid cultural erasure.

MAY

May saw progress in SUG’s legal and advocacy work. SUG and partners appealed the High Court ruling on atrocity cotton and had their evidence formally accepted by the Modern Slavery Act Committee. Our Executive Director spoke in Parliament on religious persecution and addressed an art exhibition marking 35 years since Tiananmen, linking past and present struggles for freedom.

5

JUNE

June was marked by major wins. The Liberal Democrats became the first UK party to commit to recognising the Uyghur genocide in their manifesto. SUG and the UK Uyghur Community sent letters to political leaders urging action on forced labour. Later, SUG launched a legal bid to block Shein’s listing on the London Stock Exchange.

JULY

SUG commemorated the 15th anniversary of the Urumchi Massacre with a protest outside the Chinese Embassy. Later, Rahima Mahmut represented SUG at the Notre Dame Religious Liberty Summit, where the Miras Silk Road Collective performed, spotlighting Uyghur resilience and cultural pride.

AUGUST-SEPTEMEBER

Our Executive Director, Rahima Mahmut and Alicia Kearns MP called on the UK government to reject Canadian Solar’s Mallard Pass project over forced labour concerns. SUG participated in the Liberal Democrat and Labour Party conferences, strengthening cross-party collaboration. Rahima also spoke at a UN conference on Balochistan, linking global struggles against authoritarian repression.

OCTOBER

SUG joined a powerful protest outside the Royal Mint Court, uniting Uyghur, Tibetan, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese activists to mark the PRC’s 75th anniversary. SUG also published op-eds in The Spectator and The Independent, challenging censorship and urging the UK to prioritise human rights. We welcomed Blair McDougall MP as Chair of the APPG on Uyghurs and our Executive Director participated in the Frontlines of Freedom Conference & World Uyghur Congress’s 8th General Assembly in Geneva and Washington, D.C.

NOVEMBER

SUG attended the screening of All Static & Noise and joined a parliamentary seminar on transnational repression hosted by Hong Kong Watch. During Islamophobia Awareness Month, our Executive director spoke in Parliament on China’s criminalisation of Islam, while SUG celebrated East Turkestan National Day and highlighted the persecution of Uyghur women at a René Cassin event.

DECEMBER

SUG marked Human Rights Day and the Uyghur Tribunal anniversary with a parliamentary event , featuring speeches from Sir Geoffrey Nice KC, Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, Lord Alton, Dr Gearóid Ó Cuinn, Michael Polak and Rahima Mahmut. The following day, SUG joined allies outside the Chinese Embassy demanding justice for victims of CCP repression.

SUG OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE PLANS

As SUG moves forward, our focus for 2025–2026 will centre on expanding our advocacy, strengthening parliamentary engagement, and driving meaningful policy change, such as the GB energy Bill Amendment. Below is an overview of our key campaigns and strategic priorities for the coming year.

i. Recognition of the Uyghur Genocide

The evidence remains overwhelming: the Chinese government continues to carry out systematic persecution of the Uyghur people through mass detention, forced labour, and cultural erasure. One of our core objectives remains securing formal recognition of the Uyghur genocide by the UK Government.

In 2025, we will continue to build cross-party support for recognition through the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Uyghurs. One of our priorities, moving forward, is to ensure the APPG is active, well-resourced, and effective, serving as a central platform for parliamentary debate, evidence-sharing, and collaboration. Through strategic engagement with MPs, ministers, and allies across both Houses, we will continue to push for policy change that reflects the UK’s moral and legal obligations to prevent and respond to genocide.

ii. Mega Embassy Campaign

Following the major grassroots victory in 2024, when Tower Hamlets Council voted against the Chinese government’s proposed “super embassy,” the decision has since been called in to the UK Government for review. The final verdict now rests with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, and no decision has yet been made.

SUG and our allies remain firmly opposed to this development, which would serve as a hub for transnational repression and intimidation of diaspora communities in the UK. As the public inquiry proceeds, we will continue to mobilise local residents, human rights advocates, and parliamentarians to ensure that this project is permanently blocked.

9

iii. Risk at the Source: Critical Mineral Supply Chains and State-Imposed Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region

In partnership with the Global Rights Compliance (GRC) team, SUG will support outreach on GRC’s landmark research connecting global critical mineral supply chains to state-imposed forced labour in the Uyghur Region. The report reveals extensive PRC investment in mining, processing, and manufacturing in the region — all linked to the exploitation of Uyghur and Turkic peoples. Over the coming year, SUG will engage policymakers, ministers, industry leaders, and civil society to translate this research into policy action, advocating for ethical sourcing in critical minerals used for clean energy and technology.

iv. Human Rights Abusing Tech

China’s use of surveillance technology continues to underpin its repression of the Uyghur people. Companies such as Hikvision, Dahua, BGI Group, and MGI Tech remain complicit in mass surveillance and genomic data collection. Through our Human Rights Abusing Tech campaign, SUG will continue to press the UK Government to ban the sale and use of technology linked to human rights abuses, and to adopt ethical standards for research, procurement, and trade partnerships.

v. Tackling Uyghur Forced Labour

The products of Uyghur forced labour are currently flooding the UK supply chains, with over 17 major industries implicated in the Chinese government’s human rights violations. Despite the scale of the crisis, the UK is currently falling behind other nations on policy measures to tackle modern slavery and genocide. Some of the companies sourcing from the Uyghur region are selling their products to the UK market, where there are currently no import bans in place. Through our Tackling Uyghur Forced Labour campaign, SUG continues to challenge the government, councils, and corporations to take decisive action.

We remain engaged with the UK Parliament’s Human Rights Committee, providing evidence and testimony on forced labour supply chains. Following our action against Shein’s proposed listing on the London Stock Exchange, where we served the company’s legal team and the Financial Conduct Authority with a dossier of evidence on supply chain abuses, we continue to hold corporations accountable. To broaden public awareness, SUG will host a series of expert-led webinars throughout 2025, offering free educational sessions on forced labour, ethical trade, and global accountability mechanisms.

10

vi. Tackling Solar Slavery

Evidence of Uyghur forced labour in the solar industry remains overwhelming. With around 35% of the world’s solar-grade polysilicon produced in the Uyghur Region, our goal is to ensure that the UK’s green transition does not come at the cost of human suffering. In 2025, SUG will continue parliamentary advocacy and partnerships with ethical energy experts to demand transparent supply chains and enforceable human rights standards across the renewable sector.

SUG also actively supported and campaigned for the GB Energy Bill amendment, which sought to prevent UK government subsidies and contracts from benefiting companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. Through direct advocacy with MPs and allied organisations, we helped keep this critical issue on the parliamentary agenda, reinforcing our call for stronger ethical safeguards in UK supply chains.

vii. EUFL Empowering Uyghur Youth Scheme

Launched in partnership with the EUFL (End Uyghur Forced Labour) coalition, this project aims to equip young Uyghurs in the UK (ages 16+) with the tools, training, and mentorship to become the next generation of human rights advocates. Running until April 2026, the programme offers professional development in advocacy, public speaking, campaign design, and digital safety, alongside mentorship from experienced campaigners and experts.

Conclusion

As we move into 2025–2026, Stop Uyghur Genocide will continue to drive advocacy, strengthen partnerships, and amplify Uyghur voices. Together with our allies, we remain steadfast in challenging injustice, defending human rights, and ensuring the Uyghur people are never forgotten.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The charity’s purpose is the advancement of human rights, as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related United Nations conventions. Our work focuses on promoting and protecting the rights of Uyghur people and other Turkic groups in the Uyghur Region of northwest China, as well as those living in exile.

To achieve these objectives, the charity raises public and political awareness of human rights violations, monitors and reports on abuses, and conducts and supports research on issues affecting Uyghurs. We also provide expert input on legislation and policies related to human rights, promote public engagement and support for the protection of fundamental freedoms, and build partnerships with civil society, academics, and policymakers to advocate for meaningful action.

The trustees may, where appropriate, engage in political or advocacy activities that directly support the charity’s objectives. Such activities are undertaken only to the extent justified by the resources committed and are not the dominant means through which the charity pursues its aims.

Significant activities

Stop Uyghur Genocide (SUG) is a UK-based grassroots organisation founded and led by Uyghur human rights activist Rahima Mahmut. The charity brings together individuals, communities, and organisations to campaign for the protection and promotion of the human rights of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples.

Our mission is to raise awareness in the UK of the ongoing persecution, forced labour, and other crimes being committed by the Chinese government against Uyghurs and Turkic groups. We work to inspire action across all areas of society — from NGOs and faith communities to student groups, trade unions, and local networks — encouraging collective responsibility to speak out against human rights abuses and to challenge complicity in them.

SUG’s activities include advocacy and policy engagement with parliamentarians and government bodies, public education and awareness campaigns, events, webinars, and media outreach. We also collaborate with partner organisations to support accountability, ethical trade, and human rights protections. More information about our work can be found at www.stopuyghurgenocide.uk.
