About Uyghur Post
Uyghur Post (ئۇيغۇر پوچتىسى):
Uyghur Post: Independent News About and for the Global Uyghur Community
Uyghur Post is an independent, professional Uyghur-language news platform dedicated to providing the global Uyghur community with credible, trustworthy journalism and a space for authentic Uyghur voices in the international media landscape.
Uyghur Post delivers critical news, thoughtful analysis, and timely reports on human rights, culture, politics, and economics—covering developments in the homeland, the global diaspora, and international responses affecting Uyghurs.
We also serve as a free and open platform presenting diverse Uyghur voices, perspectives, and lived experiences on topics that matter to the global Uyghur diaspora, such as language, culture, immigration, and education.
Mission
Our mission is to document and report the ongoing story of the Uyghur people through credible, professional, and ethical Uyghur-language journalism. Uyghur Post covers developments in the homeland, diaspora, and global community, upholding truth, free expression, and integrity, while providing a trusted platform for diverse Uyghur perspectives.
Founding of Uyghur Post
The Uyghur diaspora has long needed an independent and objective media organization that reports not only on developments in the Uyghur homeland but also provides an open and inclusive platform for diverse Uyghur voices and perspectives.
In the absence of widely recognized and trustworthy news outlets, unverified information, internal disputes, and Chinese state-sponsored disinformation have increasingly filled the information space—further undermining the Uyghur community’s pursuit of truth, free expression, and informed public discourse.
Recognizing this urgent need, Tahir Imin and a group of Uyghur intellectuals established the Uyghur Media Council and supported him in founding and launching UyghurPost.com—a professional, independent Uyghur-language media platform dedicated to restoring an authentic, credible Uyghur voice in the global information landscape.
