October 25th marks the publication of a compelling memoir of courage: THE CHINA FREEDOM TRAP: MY LIFE ON THE RUN by Dolkun Isa, President of the World Uyghur Congress and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
The remarkable story of one man’s fight for the Uyghur people, his people, against the largest government on the planet, and a warning to the world.
Dolkun Isa’s life is a story of unflinching courage - from his activist student days in East Turkestan to the harrowing accusation of being labelled a murderer and terrorist by the Chinese Communist Party, including an Interpol Red Notice.
This is not just a memoir; it’s a testament to resilience, hope, and undying spirit. Every page unveils the heartbreaking tales of the Uyghur genocide in Jinjiang, captivating readers with Dolkun’s relentless pursuit of peace, freedom, and global acknowledgment of the atrocities faced by his people.
And the trials didn’t end with the lifting of the Red Notice. The book reveals the dark underbelly of power and politics as Dolkun and his allies faced character assassinations, misinformation wars, and dire threats to their lives and families.
Sophia Richardson, the renowned China Director at Human Rights Watch, praises the
book, saying, “Dolkun embodies unprecedented bravery and leadership. Collaborating with and learning from him has been an honour. This narrative will resonate, inspire, and offer solace to those daring to stand up against Xi Jinping’s government’s towering human rights violations, striving for a just and democratic world.”
Dolkun’s fight isn’t confined to just the Uyghurs; it echoes the sentiments of freedom-loving individuals across the globe. His struggle is emblematic of the challenges to democracy everywhere. When Dolkun stands up, he stands up for all of us.
