The East Turkistan National Movement (abbr. ETNM; Uyghur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان مىللىي ھەرىكىتى) also known as the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (abbr. ETNAM; Uyghur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان مىللىي ئويغۇنۇش ھەرىكىتى) is a non-profit human rights and political advocacy organization established in June 2017[1] in Washington D.C.[2] Salih Hudayar, a Uyghur American consultant and graduate student founded the group after pre-existing Uyghur organizations failed to openly call for East Turkestan independence deeming it "controversial".[3]
