Protesters Gather Outside The State Department To Protest Against Deaths In China's Urumchi Fire

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 28: Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile Salih Hudayar (2nd ) leads chants of 'China end the occupation! Go home China! Seventy three years is enough!' during a rally of Uyghur and other Turkic people outside the State Department’s Harry S. Truman headquarters building November 28, 2022 in Washington, DC. Hudayar demanded that the Biden Administration hold the Chinese government accountable, through its 'Zero-COVID' lockdown policy, for the deaths from a recent fire at a ‘Uyghur-dominated apartment’ in Urumqi that have sparked protests across China. The protesters also asked the international community to recognize the Chinese region of Xinjiang as East Turkistan and its people’s right to self determination.
