Join Uyghur journalist Kasim Kashgar for a screening and discussion of the documentary "From Fear to Freedom: A Uyghur’s Journey" at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at an event hosted by the National Press Club.
Doors to the Holeman Lounge will open at 6 p.m. The documentary screening will start at 6:30 p.m. and be followed by a conversation with Kashgar.
China’s mass arrests of Uyghurs and ethnic minorities in Xinjiang has been condemned by the West. One VOA journalist witnessed the repression and fear of arrest firsthand. For decades, Kasim Kashgar has lived in fear: first as a Uyghur living in China's Xinjiang region under Beijing's repressive policies, and later as an exile, acutely aware that speaking out could put his family in China at risk.
