a lot of police with their huge guns came to our house and started to look for everything from our window if for reading Quran or like doing prayer and we were like acting to like sleep at that time I'm a Turkish or Turkish minority I'm not Chinese and China can't accept that school principal saw us he was like take off that he just like one teacher came and just pushed out our hijabs pushed out our hijabs my uncle 2016 we went to his wedding and then after just a year we heard that he's in prison

alone Alum sister NE Welcome to our YouTube channel as Eternal pass messenger we are happy to have you with us today inshallah we are going to be talking about your story as our sister from East turkistan thank you for having me here today I'm so glad to be here ready to anything you'll ask for me and thank you again having me there sister NE can you tell us about yourself your family your experiences of course I'm from east turkistan I was born in Ur in East turkistan I like studied until the sixth grade in East
turkistan and then after that in 2015 we came to turkey with my family my other relatives cousins Grandma Grandpa and everyone is in East turkistan right now and I can have any information about them I started to study here and now I'm in stul University and studying journalism next year I'll be graduating inallah so the reason that I chose journalism is like to get information from my family also you know in East turkistan because of Chinese Communist party because of the genocide and oppressing that when I was in E turkistan YouTube Instagram Google and everything
everything was forbidden we just can't go into WeChat so-called like Chinese WhatsApp maybe with that WeChat with our friends and family we never had a contact from like outside of our world outside of East turkistan so now we all have WeChat we can use it here but if our family contact with us they would be in concentration camp or in a prison if they try to call you what will happen to them as I said some police would come to their house and they would check their phone also in the streets police or any like
you know Army if like they could anytime check your phone in the street also like they have a I think they have a like screen in there like in every neighborhood's you know the police Center and they would see everyone's wechat's message and everything so if something like this happened they would go into your home and give like your phone to me and they would check and then just took them to the camp or maybe preamp as someone who lived under the Communist system in China until the age of 12 can briefly describe what the
experience was like I started to wear hijab when I was nine I like wore it like really happily I wanted uh myself no one first me and at that time I was in a school of course I was I think like fourth grade and then it was of course forbidden the the wearing hijob was forbidden but I'll tell you one story of us in my class girls just started to wear hijab and wear like long like you know abas and everything and they're just girls we're going to wear this and no one can like say
nothing to us and we were like okay let's do it we were so like happy and like brave for that and then you like in every Monday we would go to the school ground and then the flag would be raised and then at that time we went to the ground and then we were like you know lining and all the girls in my class was wearing hijab and the school principal saw us he was like take off that he just like on the microphone he like shout out like this and we didn't took it out
and then one one teacher came and just pushed out our hijabs after that of course everything got really strict and then in every street like you can see a panel that shows you Turkish flag and I remember I saw East turan's flag too anything that describes Islamic thing was like driven and like there were a line and in the under they said like it's forbidden if you do that you would see the result of these and my mom would like don't ever do it like out loud they would like judge you and then in our
house Some Nights you know like in the like 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. suddenly a lot of police with huge you know like lights come to our house and looking into our like from our window that if we're reading Quran or like doing prayer and we were like acting to like sleep at that time I really like I clearly remember this I'm like with my sister let's let's just pretend to be asleep and then they would go into our home and talk with my dad look at everywhere and they would go out and one time
my dad started Ed to hide all of the books in our like home because there were a like huge like book room like library in our house and he just started to collect all of the like Islamic books and hide it into our basement and then again a lot of police with their huge guns came to our house and started to look for everything and we were so scared that if they like put a camera in our house and we would scared to talk about like anything that about Islamic or like like this maybe like
after that event one or two of them would get into a prison or in the phone in the v chat if we're talking asalam alaykum there is Emoji like asalam alayum right if you sent this to someone if they caught you if they see you in their screen they would take you to the the prison so in our building there were so many people's dad father was in the prison and there were so like having a like hard time with their mom and what about the Chinese people are there any Chinese different in the wigers
I can clearly say that they are but at that like uh covid-19 time that all the covid just ended in the world and then again started in China and China closed up all of the East turkistan and they couldn't even go out for buying food and people were like dying because of the starving even if they have money you know they couldn't go out and they China like published something like if you go out if you don't ask a permission from us and go out take a foot would go into prison they literally published that
and then people was were like posting videos that their like their mouth was locked with some luck or some like you know something like this they were posting videos like this on do in Chinese Tik Tok and then after 3 months people literally starved there and in urumi in we call you know big Bazaar in that building one of the house was started to like get fire and they couldn't go out because the doors was locked with like iron they couldn't go out because of the fire and they called like 911 and then they they
came and they watered like just in front of that house it gone viral in China and people that against China people that against that China is doing this to us try like tried to started to raise up their voice and they started like white paper action and also China like took them into prison or like killed them or anything else happened but yeah they tried to help us but now everything is oppressed again think about the darkest moment in your life now imagine a light appeared guiding you out of that darkness that light could be

my hometown was the like biggest losses I have experienced and rebuilding my life was of course not that easy for me when we came to stumble like it's like totally strange somewhere totally strange of course Turkish people are so heartwarming but they really had a hard time here because till now like with my we friends also because when you share same things with people it's like get easier for you you know cuz when we talk about our childhood and everything we get like our hearts would warmed but of course we would cry and everything would
happen because we witnessed everything like everything was same but with them the life was easier and yeah life goes on in some way you know if anything happened behind you I really miss my grandma's like my daughter come here let me brush your hair like even that I um like after I came to Turkey the single thing that I would think why did I fight with my cousins at when I were in isan like why did I not when we're having our time why did something bad happened if he said so without them it's really
hard here my friends are getting their the the grandma grandfathers like that's news I don't really want to get that and I'm so afraid of that because my mom Mom and Dad uh left them behind for us to have our religion have our language have our future here in abroad in it in Turkey and if they also have something like this have a news that their mom and dad happened something happened to them they couldn't handle this like a lot of are witnessing that I just went to my some of my friends home the 3
days ago she had a news that her mom passed away in East turkistan with cancer and she didn't know know about that because her mom was so afraid that her children would go go back to East turkistan to help her cuz she knows that if they go back to isan they would be in prison or they would be dead can you imagine that you can't contact your family at 2024 can you tell us about your uncle uh my uncle was 28 years old and in 2016 we went to his wedding to urum we had really
good time with our family I have some of the pictures and we just witnessed his wedding right and then we came back to Turkey like hardly and then after just a year we heard that he's in prison why one night they just came into his house his child was just born his son was 40 days old and they told him that they would ask him something and they took them after that date there is no information about him for 2 years and then I published some video about my uncle that he's in prison since 7
years why is he in the prison to China I was like saying like China answer me what is happening why is my uncle is in prison he did nothing criminal and they said he contacted with like with their relatives in abroad which means us he listened something Islamic which means Quran or like something really normal they said these two reason and I'm like okay where is the crime how can you put him into prison for that so after I published some videos the Chinese Consulate in in anara called me and they're like ask us about
your uncle we would answer you why are you posting videos and everything we are your government because I'm also a Chinese citizen I'm like okay let me ask from you answer me where is my uncle since 7 years I don't know what my grandma is having right now what emotion that she's having right now one of her son is in Turkey one of her her son is in prison and she can't like talk with each of them and they're like make me wait for 3 month and then called me and said he's imprisoned for 10
and maybe more years don't call us again Chinese Embassy told me that and after that I just started to like again posting videos and advocating for my uncle and his son is Raising like without his dad and his best times is without his father I can't even imagine what he's like experiencing right now what about the scholars Scholars Scholars uh rich people uh acad ists everyone is in prison or dead right now the first thing they did was arresting them because the scholars the writers and everyone would lead a you know Nation they know that
the CCP knows that and they CAU them and the scholars are in prison in the under the torture do they really place a Chinese person in every household yeah they would take their the the family's father or the you know the brother and everyone who is a man would go into the concentration camp and then they would Place Chinese men to with the women's in that home they would sleep together forcibly forcibly to see that if in that home are people praying are people reading some book or are them wearing hijab or anything so to
watch them they Place Chinese men to ur's home and make them live together forcibly also China is forcing Ur girls to marry Chinese men like I'm a I'm a Turkish W are are Turkish minority I'm not Chinese and China can't accept that they want us to be Chinese but we're not and now I'm so worried that my uncle's son are getting Chinese are getting assimilated because we saw a video on Tik Tok on Chinese Tik Tok doing that my nephew is doing Chinese like you know fight and wearing Chinese clothes in the in a school
that means they forcing him to do that like children are getting getting assimilated as Chinese and also as I said my nephew too I'm so worried of that you mentioned women who were forced to live with Chinese men what about the others can you also talk about the women in the concentration camps concentration camp Survivor came to our house in 2019 or 2018 she like accidentally came to our house and from uhum to Kazakhstan to Turkey Istanbul and then we found out that she's a concentration camp Survivor dri she was so like thin and her
hair was like cut it off and she was like shaking and her psychology her physical condition was not good and she started to talk about what happened what is happening in concentration camps to the girls to the women from 7 years old to 17 years old really I mean that to 80 years old even to 188 years old not 17 and they would live in a room and then in that room they would sleep at a iron based something iron based and they would sleep like this not like this iron bed yeah iron bed and
then 15 of them would sleep at that night 15 of them them would like be stayed up to control them and then they would have a camera in that room and they would have a toilet but there is no door for the toilet there is no like no place to wash their hands there is no no nothing that nearly looks like a toilet paper and every day one Chinese police come to their room and take like call one woman or one girl they would take off all of her in front of everyone and then take
her to another room and try to rape her if she doesn't do this she would get tortur tortured with Chinese tortur every day one girl would go into that room naked and getting tortured getting raped getting sterilized and everything would happen to them and every month the people in that room would change to not to like you know the 13 of them like not have a bond in front like between them so they would change them in Turkey there's a phrase known as Chinese torture you know what was the most extreme difficulty you experienced you
know one day I forgot to take off my hijab in front of the school and School principal saw me his eyes was going out like just like a balls and like 20 of SWAT the police with their huge gun two 11 years old girl going like across to me in the school in the school School in in in front of the school I was like what's Happening Here Am I a terrorist what are you doing I'm just wearing a hij up they're like going across to me I'm like what is happening right now what did
I do am I having a am I like carrying a bumb here and then at that time I'm like okay nefa calm down go across and then one teacher CAU me she's like nefisa you should like you should give your informations to me and I'm like I thought about what if I give her wrong information I'm like be brave now he said nothing would happen to you after a day my teacher called me and in front of like all of my classroom she started to say mean things to me was shouting I was I felt
embarrassed at that time any other teachers came into me are you nefisa did you wear hijab because of you we didn't get our salary and we got punishment get out from that school every teacher was saying that to me and I was so like humiliated at that time and when I told that to my parents they're like we're going we're not staying here one night just my my dad just called us he he was in a like outside of e turkistan he was in a in a Chinese City he's like just go out from T
tonight and we're like immediately packed up with my mom and we went to other city of China and other city of China to Malaysia Malaysia to Turkey like for them to not know that we're going to Turkey if they find out that we would get into a prison in the that in the border gate that we're going moving to Turkey they would like literally CAU us to the again to concentration camps at that time when we're going to the turkey the in the border gate they took my mom into the room and they interrogate her
I was so scared at that time I thought I would lost my mom at that time I was just 12 years old and what what if she caught up and go into a prison I I would be there alone and I'm like what if she like go inside what if something happened to her and then the border gate was the most scary place for us for yours from our child we would think like it's not uh you know we're not let it to go outside of East turkistan if you go out you should take some
risk and we took that risk in in China they wouldn't check your passport they would interrogate you and when they ask me something about my life about my like school and information I forgot everything I know in Chinese I started to like you know G saying something gabish I didn't understand a thing that they told me but I learned Chinese from my like first first grade you know of course I know chinesee but I didn't anything I didn't like understand anything about it because of that anxiety because of that fear you know so alhamdulillah like
we crossed it and came to Turkey is there an extreme Act of torture that you have heard of or witness I heard that from first person she's really close to me they H came to turkey with like her family without her father with just girls her mom and sisters they came to Turkey and her dad just said like I'll come back I'll come with you you guys after a month I would get my passport and everything there are so many like uh work to do and they're like okay they were waiting for their dad and
suddenly he got into concentration camps of course his family went to Turkey his crime is that and he was put it into prison or camp and they couldn't get any information about him for 4 years or 6 years I think and then after he just got out to the prison after some a week uh he passed out so imagine a torture that happened in that prison I can't really tell you any significant torture because I didn't experience it as I said but like think about it he's dead after a week and they learned it they
heard it after 2 years so he did his shahada inshallah but think about it you're here you're waiting for your dad and suddenly your your father is you heard that your father is dead and you're like without your without a father you know what steps have you taken to ad upt to life in turkey and what challenges have you faced when I see people here you know in the Parks or or in the seaside people would get picnic and like you know and all with all of their family and like we could have be with
my with our family with like all of them here too like with in front of one desk you know in front of one like desk like this and China took that from us our basic human rights are being like oppressed are there any Wagers who have gone to other countries and are they also being oppressed not from the people from that country but from Chinese agent and Chinese people because as I said there is a concentration camp witness Survivor and she lived in stanbul and Chinese agents just following her every time and like threatening her
and she went to France to to Paris and then the government was protecting her but also right now like the around of her house was full of Chinese agents of Chinese people to threaten her or to kill her also in Turkey there were like two or three young guy that I know like shouted from what's a threat to them yeah right now I'm speaking here about my uncle about my country would really affect to my people also if you are speaking about to your like relatives family or in a screen or in your Instagram or
in YouTube is affecting my people and if something happens to my uncle the China's Prestige would get destroyed his like accurate face would showed off and world would see it because there's so many people that like got into Chinese propaganda when I post something on on my social media and I talk about my uncle someone would like comment there like you're lying China is not doing anything like this and people are living happily there are you saying that to me my relatives and everyone is in E turkistan I can't contact with them my uncle is
in prison and you're saying that my people is living happily when you talk about us when you talk about that makes huge difference like my people would would some of my people like survive from that camp or if they see that from anywhere else like suddenly like they would at least feel okay world didn't didn't forget us they know about us so it makes huge difference please don't don't don't stop to talk about my people talk about talk about East turkistan what would you like to say to someone who is considering taking off her hijab
in east turkistan or in Palestine toing hijab is worth of their life worth of their youth in isan if I told you before too if I was there I would be in prison for just wearing that hijab and it's not something simple like I can't just take it off you know and it's so like worthy for us it's our like aim to like having that life like living life so if you're considering to do that please wearing that is worth of some someone's life you know because that hijab protects you it's not oppression what are
your hopes and dreams for the future both personally and for your community my single and like what one of my dreams are like in free sistan you know I don't know things like what things would change how things would change but going to that country going to my country seeing my people even seeing my people face seeing my seeing that people's are having conversation in Ur language people are like yelling at that come here you can buy that with that price yeah hugging if that doesn't happen I would be the most powerful journalist in that
world that because there there are so many dronist that change that world I know that and I can be one too why not and I'm a Muslim hijabi girl but why not I can talk I can express myself and I have to advocate for my people I have to go on top and talk about my people make my uncle free from that Chinese prison and then my future my like dreams are that nothing than that maybe have a good family a little family a happy family but someone who's supporting me on my journey and being
the most powerful journalist or being the most powerful girl woman in the world and making my people's voice heard by the world inshallah what message would you like to share with other people in similar situations in Gaza and many other places we're not alone Allah is with us yeah we're struggling and world is watching that there is something that we can handle on Allah we're not alone guys Palestinian people are the bravest people ever and like when I see videos that coming from there like alham we're Muslim alhamdulillah because in E turkistan too we woman
in concentration camps saying that if we were not Muslim if it was not Haram we would suicide instead of getting that torture instead of getting raped by Chinese police every day instead of getting their children forcefully we would get suicide if it was not Haram what do you think we can do as individuals to help I told you that before too but talk about W and everywhere don't stop talking about us don't stop spreading information about about us because it really matters really matters it really makes huge differen right now we're saying that don't stop
talking about Palestine right also don't stop talking about about also boycott China there is like so many thing from China in the world and also there were so many from Israel in the world and you're boycotting it you should boycott China too most of the influencers are like you know promoting there is forced labor in is sistan is there a companion from the Asad that you feel close to I feel Abu Hur who close to me really close to me because his compassion with animal with the animals with the uh cat you know is like
touches me uh really like you know differently because yeah I love cats I love animals also Muslims Ur like all the people likees that but Muslim are people like that they have compassion to that little creature that people called but they're so like you know important to us for me too but people that have that compassion to that little creature to that animal that facing this torture this genocide this like all of this right now in the world all around the world for Ur for Palestinian people in Sudan and everywhere so like they call us
as terrorists also China call Ur terrorists too but our knives are locked in his turkistan how can I be a terrorist abu's names is like coming after that a cat coming after an animal so uh we try to live like this we try to have compassion to people to animal to a little creature but our people is facing that disgusting situation you know if our perect peace be po him enter the door right now what would you like to say to him it's a really strange feeling but I would just go straight on him like
a p like like my father like I didn't see my father for years and like Pro our Prophet like they left alone our people is having that like struggle I know if you were here at that at this time it would be really different for us but we know that you and Allah is seeing us that we are struggling I hope we are deserved to have your shaa at the end of Judgment day and hope you were here all the time I know the struggle that you and your sahaba uh faced and experienced is not
like comparable with us but it is hard it is hard for my people to see my people to having that people having that struggling that it is hard to drink a water here freely so inshallah we are deserve to be your we are deserved to get your sha inshah a mean may Allah Grant you to be together in the Jenna with him thank you for having me today here really means so much to us so much to me to my people to my community here we are also so happy to have you with you we
