Rahima Mahmut

Rahima Mahmut is a prominent Uyghur activist and a vocal critic of the Chinese government's policies in Xinjiang. Having fled China in 2000, she has dedicated her life to raising awareness about the plight of the Uyghur people, particularly in light of the ongoing allegations of genocide and human rights abuses against them. Mahmut has lost contact with her family, highlighting the personal toll of the situation, and has been instrumental in bringing attention to the use of AI technologies, such as Deepseek, which she claims are being used to erase Uyghur history and existence.
