Washington DC, Feb. 25 -- Rushan Abbas, Executive Director of Campaign for Uyghurs, has condemned China's recent announcement about completing the deepest vertical well in Asia, located in the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang.

Abbas highlighted the exploitation of the Uyghur homeland, describing the drilling project as part of a broader colonial agenda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In a post on X, Rushan Abbas stated, "The CCP announced that it has drilled the deepest vertical well in the Uyghur homeland, a new frontier for oil and gas resources, while continuing its genocide against the Uyghur people. This is a form of colonialism driven by control and subjugation, abusing the land and its people who have lived there for centuries".
