One man’s mission to end the Uyghur genocide in China: a physician, who helped set up a campaign to protest against the persecution of the Uyghurs, says that Jews had “a duty to join the protest”
Sheldon Stone, 68, became involved in Stop Uyghur Genocide after coming across a testimony from a survivor of a Uyghur concentration camp in China.
He said: “I was reading this account from someone who had been released from one of the concentration camps because she had dual nationality, being both Chinese and Kazakh."
"From the photos, the camps looked exactly like Auschwitz [a concentration camp used by the Nazis in Germany, ed]. She talked about people being tortured and gang-raped routinely and that pregnant women were being forced to have abortions.”
Stone shelved his original retirement plan, which was to promote environmental issues in the Jewish community, to focus instead on campaigning for the Uyghur population.
