Separatist Uighurs?
Speaking to the Washington Post, Rebiya Kadeer, an exiled Uighur leader, declined to be labeled a “separatist.”
“What my people want is what I want, and they want freedom,” she told the Post, which observed that she “speaks carefully around the question of full independence for Uighurs” — this is also the position of the World Uyghur Congress, though Uighur demonstrations sometimes have a more direct message.
