Summarization
Author @RayhanAsat is urging UK Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly to cancel his meeting with Erkin Tuniyaz, the governor of the Xinjiang region and meet with Uyghur activists instead. According to @RayhanAsat, Erkin Tuniyaz is directly implicated with the atrocities committed in Xinjiang and this meeting should not be entertained. #Uyghurs, #FreeUyghurs, #UyghurGenocide, #StopUyghurGenocide, and #FreeEkparAsat have been trending in support of this effort. Many have advocated for Uyghur human rights, but the UK, France, and the EU have all called off their meetings with Tuniyaz. @RayhanAsat believes the Chinese government is not interested in meaningful engagement and that Tuniyaz should be sanctioned rather than welcomed by the British government.

Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from outrage to despair. They call for the cancellation of a meeting between Erkin Tuniyaz, the region's governor, and the UK foreign office, and for him to be sanctioned instead. There is also a strong sense of frustration, as the Uyghur survivors of the Xinjiang’s network of camps want Tuniyaz to be arrested and tried for perpetrating genocide, rather than welcomed by the British government. The tweets also call for meaningful engagement on the issue of Uyghurs held in Xinjiang’s camps, and for governments to sanction Tuniyaz instead of entertaining a meeting with him. Finally, there is a sense of defiance in the tweets, as the writers call for the Chinese government to be held accountable for its inhumane treatment of Uyghurs.
