The East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (ETESA) is a Uyghur Islamist organisation based in Istanbul, Turkey.[1]
The government of China has accused the group of having ties to the Turkistan Islamic Party (formerly known as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement or ETIM), a claim it denies.[2]
The ETESA states that their purpose is to "educate and bring up Turkistani (Turkic) Muslims" by "meeting their Islamic, social, cultural, spiritual and earthly needs".[3]
