In this urgent and deeply moving episode of The Human Frame, Łucja speaks with Nuria Zyden, an Uyghur activist using her voice to confront an ongoing Uyghur genocide.

Nuria shares her personal journey of growing up in China as an Uyghur woman, navigating systemic discrimination, cultural erasure, and the ever-present fear imposed by the Chinese state. After relocating to Ireland, she found both safety and the responsibility of speaking openly, despite the real risks and harassment faced by Uyghurs who dare to tell the truth.

Together, they explore:

✨ What it means to carry a culture targeted for destruction ✨Her establishment of the Irish Cultural Uyghur Association ✨ Transnational repression and the reach of authoritarian control
✨ The emotional and psychological weight of activism
✨ Why global silence fuels genocide
✨ How individuals and communities can take action to protect Uyghur rights

Released for Genocide Prevention Day (9th December), this episode is a call to remembrance, accountability, and global solidarity.
