Washington DC, Feb. 18 -- The East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) has issued a powerful statement calling on the Irish government to take a stand against China's policies in Xinjiang.

This came in the wake of a visit to Ireland by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. In a post on X, the East Turkistan Government in Exile stated, "As a nation that once suffered under colonial rule and fought to restore its independence, Ireland has a moral duty to stand against China's colonial occupation of East Turkistan. The Chinese government continues its systematic colonisation, genocide, and brutal repression of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples, both within East Turkistan and through transnational repression abroad."
