Rushan Abbas(@RushanAbbas):Behind every political prisoner’s name is a life interrupted, a family torn apart, and loved ones refusing to let the world forget. On October 30, #PoliticalPrisonersDay, my brother @DrRishatAbbas and my niece @ziba116 joined allies at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington for a gathering organized by @NED, @HRF, @freedomhouse, and coalition partners. Together, they demanded freedom for my sister, Dr. #GulshanAbbas, and millions of innocent Uyghurs unjustly imprisoned, and an end to the persecution of the Uyghur people.
