WUC urges OIC to raise Uyghur rights after Secretary-General's meeting With Chinese leadership
Feb 01, 2026
The meeting, held on January 26, focused on enhancing dialogue and cooperation between the OIC and China. However, the WUC said there was no public reference to the ongoing human rights situation in East Turkistan, where it alleges China continues policies amounting to genocide against Uyghurs. The organisation urged Secretary-General Taha and the OIC to use such engagements to publicly raise the issue of Uyghur rights and hold China accountable for what it described as "egregious crimes," as cited by the WUC press release.
