Campaign for Uyghurs | Recipient of NED’s 2025 Democracy Award
NED honored Campaign for Uyghurs for its tireless advocacy on behalf of Uyghurs and other Muslim communities living under Chinese Communist Party rule.
The award recognizes Rushan Abbas, Founder & Executive Director of the Campaign for Uyghurs, whose courageous leadership has given voice to Uyghur families torn apart by the CCP’s mass internment and repression.
A global force for Uyghur rights, Rushan Abbas and Campaign for Uyghurs reminds us that even under the weight of repression, courage and conscience endure.
