New reports reveal shocking allegations against Dolkun Isa, head of the controversial World Uyghur Congress (WUC), accused of sexually harassing three female students. One victim, 22-year-old Turkish-Belgian student Esma Gun, shared screenshots of Isa's alleged misconduct in 2021. Two other Uygur women later came forward anonymously, citing fears of retaliation. 🌪️
Isa admitted to sending 'discomfort-causing messages' on social media but downplayed his actions as mere 'errors.' The WUC publicly supported him, calling his apology 'forthright'—a response critics call tone-deaf. 😤
The 'Second CIA' Connection 🕵️♂️
The WUC, labeled a separatist group by China, is funded by the U.S.-backed National Endowment for Democracy (NED), dubbed the 'second CIA' for its history of covert influence. Since 2004, the NED has funneled $8.76 million to Uygur organizations, openly advocating for 'regime change' in China. 💸
NED's former president, Carl Gershman, once pushed for a 'color revolution' in China and endorsed the divisive 'East Turkestan' narrative. The group has also funded separatist activities in Xizang, Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong, and the Taiwan region. 🌍⚠️
Isa, a 2019 NED 'Democracy Award' recipient, remains a polarizing figure linked to violence in Xinjiang. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's bustling Grand Bazaar stands as a symbol of the region's vibrant culture—far removed from the chaos these groups allegedly incite. 🕌✨
