United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) Commissioner Nury Turkel is Chairman of the Board for the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), which he co-founded in 2003. He also served as the President of the Uyghur American Association, where he led efforts to raise the profile of the Uyghur people in the United States. Join us for a conversation with Commissioner Turkel on the plight of the Uyghurs and Turkel’s advocacy efforts on this issue.
