»Zhang was part of this system: He ensured no one went to mosques, he searched phones & compiled files. … Chat groups … documented who was sick & who skipped the mandatory Chinese class. [For arrests] hints on #Uyghur rituals were sufficient: a song, a poem, a prayer. Sometimes, police officers invented things, such as villagers playing basketball. Anyone who does sport and keeps fit is suspicious, a potential terrorist. “Anyone could be arrested at any time.”« #China

Geflohener Polizist: Vor Schloss Neuschwanstein setzte er sich ab, nun enthüllt er Chinas Verbrechen

Er verfolgte Uiguren und brachte sie in Foltergefängnisse. Dann floh der Polizist Zhang Yabo aus der Volksrepublik nach Deutschland – und liefert seltene Einblicke in Chinas Repressionsapparat.

"Uyghur lives are at stake, and the cost of neglecting them is high." Yalkun Uluyol’s powerful testimony is a stark reminder that we must not look away from the ongoing repression of the #Uyghur people ⬇️ www.hrw.org/news/2026/04...

Repression of Uyghurs Persists...
Repression of Uyghurs Persists as the World Moves On

Dozens of my family members, including my father, have disappeared into China’s system of mass incarceration over the past decade simply for being Uyghurs. When international attention to our plight surged, I believed there would be enough pressure to secure the release of my loved ones. Yet, eight years into my father’s enforced disappearance, I still have no information about his whereabouts, health or the allegations that led to his imprisonment. Meanwhile, the world’s attention has moved on.

Talked to a friend I've not spoken to in a while, and it seems he's been sucked into the #China disinformation sphere and fully sees it as the world's only hope.

While I get it somewhat - the search for a "savoir" when everyone else - #Europe #US #India, etc, seems to be going to shit - I honestly don't have the willpower to deal with this anymore. The final straw may have been when he glowed about an leftist author who has been pushing #Uyghur #genocide denial messaging.

A person who was made to undergo Chinese political re-education as part of China’s ongoing, undeniable genocide

Built a propaganda tracker tracking Chinese state media and terms. They noticed how, during the re-education program, language was shifting: he was no longer Chinese Mongolian, he was from the ‘northern frontier’.

This work documents and tracks how quickly terms shift through Chinese state media

A thoughtful article by a Uyghur as he misses a father imprisoned by China alongside hundreds of thousands of fellow Muslims "just for being who they are". #China #Uyghur

China’s Repression Still Haunts Uyghur Exiles

This Ramadan, as I sit down with a hot bowl of lentil soup and freshly made Uyghur noodles to break my day-long fast, I try very hard not to think about my father, thousands of miles away, in a prison, and what he does not get to eat, and if he even knows it is his favorite time of the year.

#boycatapp is teasing a new campaign called #uyghur.

This is what no dialectical materialism does to a motherf*cker.

The uyghur "genocide" is manufactured consent by the USA for attacks against china.

In stark contrast to the gaza genocide, the usa has evidently supported a separatist *minority*, same as the iranian *monarchist diaspora*.

We need to understand that antiimperialism needs to be combined with materialism. China is supportive of minorities. Please contact people living in china!

Interview with anthropologist Gerald Roche about China’s new Ethnic Unity Law

"If you look at the linguistic practices of people across China, you will start seeing the impact from this law 10 years from now. But those impacts will be permanent."
