Tahir Hamut Izgil

Born in 1969 near Kashgar, he has experienced firsthand the oppression of his people, spending three years in a labor camp during the 1990s. After moving to the U.S., he has been an outspoken advocate for Uyghur rights, detailing his experiences and the plight of his people in his book 'Waiting to be arrested at night.'
