In a powerful moment for the Uyghur community in Ireland, The Irish Times covered the official launch of the Irish Uyghur Cultural Association, an initiative created to celebrate, preserve, and promote Uyghur identity in exile. Attended by the President of the World Uyghur Congress, the event was a milestone in giving voice to a community often overlooked, and a clear sign of growing solidarity in Europe.
