Mihrigul Tursun, a survivor of China’s concentration camp system, urged the National Basketball Association (NBA) in remarks to Breitbart News on Friday to condemn China’s human rights abuses.
Tursun also warned star player LeBron James, one of China’s biggest business partners in the league, to distance himself from the regime “because money cannot do everything.”
Tursun was participating in a march Friday organized by the East Turkistan Government in Exile in Washington, DC, the purpose of which was to demand that the administration of President Joe Biden act to protect the Uyghur people from the ongoing genocide they are enduring at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. Tursun is an ethnic Uyghur Muslim from East Turkistan, an occupied western region China refers to as “Xinjiang,” and has testified to being forced into the Chinese concentration camp system three times between 2015 and 2018.

It is ironic (is that the correct usage here?) that the very people who condemn slavery that happened in America 200 years ago are supporting slavery that is happening right now.
LaBron James, Michael Jordan, the owners of Nike and every share holder of Nike stock owes these slaves retributions, in the billions of dollars...
The new Air Jumpins kicks! Now with 20% more souls!
The NBA supports slavery. There. Someone had to say it.
Concentration camp survivors should sue the NBA and NIke for damages.
LeBron reminds me of Mushmouth from Fat Albert.
I don’t believe he really passed any high school classes.
He’s a hypocritical retard...full retard.
The irony is not missed.
LeBron is like school on Saturday.....No Class!
The NBA players only care about one race. Convince me I am wrong.
...so does the NFL and MLB. All there teams have that Nike swoosh logo on their uniforms.
LOL, Rudy was the smart one.
The NBA would never do that.
I don’t understand why people not only support grown men playing bouncy ball, but subhuman thugs
I guarantee you that if just 40 Chinese dissidents show up at one NBA game and start protesting the NBA would be skewered by public opinion.
Where are you Chinese patriots waiting for? Tickets aren’t that expensive anymore so go to a game and make some noise!
This reminds me of a show on Prime. Well known actor, can’t think of his name, about a human inside an space alien came to earth to rid it of all people to ‘save the earth’.
Not sure but I think it was because people fought and treated earth badly or something.
LeBron has no real concept of what oppression is. None.
Looks like a thugballer to me.
Net worth of $850 million with no college degree.
Just like a slave...
Those who create concentration camps have no use for humanity. Wonder what the Jan 6 inmates, lingering in the Capitol jail, have to say about their treatment.
