During their addresses, the speakers urged the international community to boycott CCP and hold it accountable for the mass human rights violations perpetrated by it against the minority communities in China and other occupied territories.
They demanded freedom for Tibet, East Turkmenistan, Hong Kong, Southern Mongolia and other forcibly occupied territories.
