4Y6M 2Y9M ウイグル人 The Uyghur

中国政府によるウイグル人の弾圧があったが、英国で私が親しくしていた友達の一人もウイグル人。彼女の娘とアラタカラも仲がよかった。

今回の事件にはウイグル人の友達がいなくても怒りがこみ上げてくるが、今回13年ぶりに日本で再会したオタワ時代の友達もウイグルやチベットの支援をしているということで、今日はあやことランチの後、「中国政府によるウイグル人虐殺抗議デモ」の集会に参加。

Following the recent Uyghur problems, I have been concerned about a friend in the U.K. Her family are also Uyghur and she was one of my close friends. Aratakara were also close to her daughter.

Without having any Uyghur friends, I would still feel shock and anger about the problems. Incidentally, one of my Japanese friends, who I happened to meet again after 13 years, is also helping Tibet and Uyghur people. I decided to join the demonstration against Chinese government in Shibuya. I didn't actually join the demonstration but the pre meeting was interesting enough. Ayako joined me after lunch together.
