Multi-ethnic protests in Washington during Xi Jinping's US visit, report says

A Chinese-language news roundup published October 1 describes multi-ethnic protests — including Tibetan, Uyghur, Hong Konger and Chinese democracy activists — held near the White House and the Chinese Embassy during Xi Jinping's September 23–25 visit to Washington and his meeting with Donald Trump. The roundup, citing VOA, RFA and AP reporting, says Uyghur participants raised issues of mass detention, forced labour and religious freedom, and quotes Campaign for Uyghurs executive director Rushan Abbas telling VOA that her sister Gulshan Abbas remains detained by Chinese authorities.
