Uyghurs, Taiwanese, Falun Gong and Tibetans joined voices on Chinese National Day, 1st October 2007.

Iona Liddell from SFT UK voiced the breadth of human rights concerns amongst the many peoples of China, "It is so obvious, in the run up to the Beijing Olympics 2008 we should be working more together, uniting our voices, all supporters and all peoples facing persecution under the Chinese Government".

Rebiya Kadeer, a successful Uyghur business woman turned refugee after her arrest by the Chinese authorities for speaking out about the Uyghurs basic human rights, gave an address at the event outside the Chinese Consulate in London. Her family in the Uyghur region remain in detention and incommunicado as punishment for such brave acts.
