Canadian lawgivers and a leader of the Young Liberals in Norway, the youth sect of Norway’s Venstre political party, nominated the association. The rights group was cited for its work toward peace, republic and the plight of the Uyghur and other Turkic people who live under what the nomination letter described as a” cathartic governance in China.” ” The World Uyghur Congress has the main purpose of promoting republic, mortal rights, and freedom for the Uyghur People and supporting the use of peaceful,non-violent, and popular means to help the Uyghurs achieve tone- determination,” stated the nomination letter. Alexis Brunelle- Duceppe, one of two Canadian members of congress who nominated the group, participated the letter with VOA. The commission that selects the eventual Nobel Peace laureate doesn’t expose the names of the appointees to the news media or to the campaigners. Under its rules, similar information must remain secret for 50 times. The awards form takes place in December in Oslo. The nomination letter noted the WUC has drawn global attention to China’s treatment of Uyghurs with” the inviting crusade of physical, religious, verbal, and artistic suppression” by the Chinese government.
