On
June 4th the National Endowment for Democracy
(NED) gave its 2019 Democracy Award to defenders
of human and religious rights in China in the U.S.
Capitol, exactly 30 years after the massacre of
pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing in 1989. In
particularly the NED gave its annual award to
the World Uygur Congress, the Tibet Action
Institute and ChinaAid
“The
2019 Democracy Award honors three groups who are
working at the forefront of one of the most
important human rights struggles of our time,”
said NED president Carl Gershman.
Dolkun
Isa, president of the World Uygur Congress, member
of the Radical Party, has expressed his hope that
this award could bring more support for the Uygur
cause from the international
community and more international
pressure on China to end its mass detention of the
group.

Sudan.
On Monday, at least 108 people were killed
after Sudanese security forces launched
a massive crackdown against protesters at a
central Khartoum sit-in.
President
of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki
severely condemned the violence urging the
Military Transition Council to protect civilians
from further violence and inviting all
international partners to reinforce common
commitments to the cessation of violence and for a
peaceful negotiation of the political
solution.
The
African Union has suspended Sudan’s participation
in all AU activities with immediate effect “until
the effective establishment of a Civilian- led
Transitional Authority, as the only way to
allow the Sudan to exit from the current
crisis”.
