East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (ETESA) is a separatist organization in the Xinjiang region of China, established by Uyghur youths.
The group's goal is to "educate" Uyghur youth, remove the Chinese presence in Xinjiang (perceived as an illegal occupation by the ETESA), an establish and independent Islamic republic in Xinjiang. The group has claims that the Chinese government applies authoritarian policies to keep the Uyghur population "ignorant and uneducated". The group is also strongly anti-Chinese.[1]
