Uyghurs in Turkey protest Chinese foreign minister’s visit

Hundreds of Uyghurs staged protests in Ankara and Istanbul on March 25, denouncing Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi’s visit to Turkey and demanding that the Turkish government take a stronger stance against human rights abuses in China’s far-western Xinjiang region.

The crowd gathered in Istanbul’s Beyazit Square, holding posters of missing relatives they believe are being kept in detention camps in China and chant­ing slogans against Beijing.
