Powerful voices from the Uyghur community in Ireland speak truth to exile and resilience in this in-depth report by PW Neilo.
In early 2025, PW Neilo published an in-depth feature titled “Exile in Ireland: Uyghurs Speak Out”, a powerful journalistic piece shedding light on the lived experiences of Uyghurs forced to leave their homeland due to oppression and surveillance by the Chinese government.
The article centers around personal stories, including members of the Irish Uyghur Cultural Association, who are working tirelessly to preserve their culture, expose human rights abuses, and build new lives in Ireland.
“Exile is not just a physical journey — it’s emotional, cultural, and deeply personal,” says one of the featured activists.
The story presents the dual reality faced by the community: safety in Ireland contrasted with constant fear for loved ones still in East Turkistan, and surveillance even abroad. The voices in this article resonate beyond borders, connecting the global Uyghur diaspora in a shared struggle for dignity, recognition, and freedom.
