The Now World - Episode 16: Uyghur Activism & the Uyghur Diaspora w/ Alerk Ablikim

In this episode, Veerle & Elize speak with Alerk Ablikim, a 22-year-old Uyghur activist who was born in East Turkestan and fled to the Netherlands at the age of 8. We speak about his experience coming to the Netherlands, the situation in the west of China, and how the Uyghur diaspora in the Netherlands, as well as he personally, still experience intimidation and pressure from China's long arm even after having fled. We also extensively discuss what we can do to help the Uyghurs and other oppressed groups and the effectiveness of previous efforts. What can and should the Dutch government do to help the Uyghur community in the Netherlands? Can we explain the Dutch government's behavior towards China? What can we personally do to help the Uyghur community here and abroad? These questions and more will be answered in this interview.

Want to know more about what is actually going on with the Uyghurs in the west of China? Listen to Radi8Radio's podcast about the Uyghur Crisis and China's Foreign Policy with Dr. Casper Wits. Listen to the episode here.

A huge thank you to Alerk for being so open about his own experience. We very much admire the work you do and you have inspired us a lot. It was a pleasure to have you over.
