East Turkistan Government in Exile claims China conducted 47 nuclear tests between 1964 and 1996

The East Turkistan Government in Exile has said the Chinese government conducted 47 nuclear tests in East Turkistan between 1964 and 1996 which resulted in the deaths of approximately 750,000 East Turkistanis and left 1.2 million more suffering from leukemia, cancer, and fetal damage.

" Today, on the #InternationalDayAgainstNuclearTests , the East Turkistan Government in Exile solemnly reflects on the catastrophic impact of #China’s #NuclearTesting in Occupied #EastTurkistan. Between 1964 and 1996, China conducted 47 nuclear tests in our homeland, with a total known yield of 24,409 kilotons—equivalent to 1,627 #Hiroshima bombs or 1,162 #Nagasaki bombs. These tests resulted in the deaths of approximately 750,000 East Turkistanis and left 1.2 million more suffering from leukemia, cancer, and fetal damage," East Turkistan Government in Exile said on X.

The government-in-exile claimed China might be conducting secret  underground nuclear tests in East Turkistan even in 2024.

" Tragically, reports indicate that China may still be conducting secret underground #NuclearTests in East Turkistan even in 2024. These ongoing activities are part of China’s broader campaign of genocide, colonization, and occupation aimed at erasing the identity and existence of the #Uyghur and other Turkic peoples," the post said.

The government-in-exile directed the international community to recognize the acts as part of China's genocidal agenda and take immediate action.

It said: "We call on all nations to hold China accountable and to demand an end to its nuclear aggression and occupation of East Turkistan. The world must no longer stand by in silence while such atrocities continue."
