Mr. Guterres grew up in Lisbon, Portugal and has been a politician and diplomat for over 45 years. In his own words, he feels “an acute responsibility to make human dignity the core” of his work.  Now he has the opportunity to use the power of his office to publicly denounce the brutal persecution of the Uyghurs.  Global citizen pressure can encourage him to take a firmer stand, and urge China to shut down these camps. Send a personal message to Secretary General Guterres asking him to speak for the Uyghurs and send a UN fact-finding mission to monitor the abuses. The more personal and heartfelt your story, the better!

The son of a Czech-born refugee who came to Britain as a six-year-old boy, this father of two young sons understands persecution.  As a lawyer, he worked at the Hague and helped bring war criminals from Serbia, Bosnia, and Liberia to justice. More recently, Raab encouraged the UK to adopt Magnitsky-style sanctions for individuals who engage in gross violations of human rights. Send Raab a personal message now, asking him to lead the world in speaking out against the brutal persecution of the Uyghurs.  The more personal your story, the better!

Two years in, Heiko Maas has earned a reputation as a fighter who doesn’t back down from the toughest issues facing our world. Maas has supported multiple UN and EU peace-keeping missions around the world, challenged German arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and last year, called on China to protect Uyghurs’ human rights and the international community to break its silence. Call on him to bring this plea of conscience to the UN, and speak out forcefully against the persecution of the Uyghurs. The more personal your story, the better!
