2/4: No Escape: The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs by Nury Turkel (Author)


https://www.amazon.com/No-Escape-Chinas-Genocide-Uyghurs/dp/1335469567/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36H2537B46Y50&keywords=no+escape&qid=1662137888&s=books&sprefix=no+escape%2Cstripbooks%2C70&sr=1-1

As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people.

The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.
