CONTACT: CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw, 202-742-6448, rmccaw@cair.com; CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper, 202-744-7726, ihooper@cair.com; UHRP Executive Director Omer Kanat, kanato@uhrp.org, 202-819-0598, Free Uyghur Now Advocacy Director Husam Kaid, 929-434-7323, info@freeuyghurnow.org
"Free Uyghur Now is taking part in the #BoycottHilton campaign to urge Hilton not to prioritize their profit over human life. We are boycotting Hilton because our dollars are a daily ballot of conscience that we constantly choose where to place it," said Free Uyghur Now Advocacy Director Husam Kaid. "Now is the time that Muslims, allies, and people of justice around the world call on Hilton to end their complicity in the Uyghur genocide."
"A Hampton Inn logo on that spot would be a giant seal of approval on the genocide," said Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) Executive Director Omer Kanat. "There is simply no justification for Hilton to benefit from the destruction of Uyghur mosques across our homeland."
"Evidence of the Uyghur Genocide can be seen everywhere on the streets of East Turkistan, but nowhere is it more apparent than at the sites where our mosques once stood. These buildings are places of peace, places of worship, and places of gathering for the Uyghur people," said Campaign for Uyghurs Executive Director Rushan Abbas. "Hilton's decision to allow this is complicity in the Uyghur genocide. It must not go unanswered."
