Signed it yesterday. Worth trying but actually I don’t suppose any western government is particularly bothered about the Uyghurs, they never have been. Terrible.
Have any of you read News from Tartary by Peter Fleming? Marvellous book about his travels with Ella Maillart in that part of the world ( particularly interesting about Urumchi, Turfan, the Tarim basin etc) in the mid 1930s.
