From July 17th-19th, 2025, we gathered in Brussels for the "Uyghur, Tibetan and Allied Youth for Justice and Freedom" conference, hosted by the Uyghur Youth Initiative, bringing together Uyghur, Tibetan, and allied youth activists from 8 countries across Europe.

Over three days, we built connections, shared strategies, and deepened our knowledge on Transnational Repression, EU policymaking, democracy, advocacy, and collective resistance.

Our sessions were guided by powerful voices like Dilnur Reyhan, Marine Mazel, Zumretay Arkin, Hélène de Rengervé, and MEP Lukas Sieper, who shared knowledge, strategy, and inspiration. We also networked with co-chair of the Belgian Green Party Samuel Cogolati and strategized about ways to raise awareness in Europe together.

On the second day, during our visit to the EU Parliament, we proudly published our Joint Statement on TNR in Europe, calling for the EU to take action now.

This gathering was more than a conference. It was a space to build power, solidarity, and vision for a freer future.

Together, we amplify our voices. Together, we carry forward the fight.
