A prominent Uyghur academic has been reportedly jailed for life by China for “endangering state security”.
Rahile Dawut’s sentence was confirmed after she appealed against a 2018, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation rights group.
The 57-year-old professor lost her appeal this month.
China has been accused of crimes against humanity against the Uyghur population and other mostly-Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls “re-education camps”.
Can you imagine being sentenced to life in a reeducation camp? Hexbear, lemmygrad, and CTH must be frothing at the mouth over how much they would love that.
according to my experience with Chapotraphouse this is somehow the US’s fault.
