I have received the printed edition of our book, which was published by Palgrave Macmillan. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone wishing to understand how 🇨🇳’s high-tech oppression against Uyghurs both within and beyond its borders, and its impact on the Uyghur diaspora in 🇹🇷.

Demain, je serai au tribunal, car le procureur d'Evry a décidé, un mois après la visite de Xi Jinping en 🇫🇷, de rouvrir une plainte de l'ambassade de Chine contre moi, plainte qui a été classée sans suite en 2023. Je le vis comme persécution par mon pays. lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

Dr. Dilnur Reyhan 🖋📚🌳🌈, sociologist & president of Uyghur Institute of Europe, protested against the CCP at the Fête de L'Humanité in 2022 in an act of non-violent civil disobedience. Following a complaint from the Chinese Embassy, tomorrow she is taken to court. lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

I worked at Ningbo where reading lists are directly censored and electronic surveillance is in the classroom. It offers zero capacity to address issues of human rights or to promote understanding between two different countries. #China #UK #education bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

2 points from intro Chinese politics courses: 1. "National humiliation" was not remembered . It was taught to this generation (see Zhao Suisheng & William Callahan). 2. #China is not a passive victim. It has power and influences international relations. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

"I struggled to find a stable job, even in Beijing — not because I was unqualified, but because my Uyghur identity made me a 'problem.'" @Nyrola Elima details the abuse against the Uyghurs in China at the hands of the CCP.

I’m still in the same situation as I was eight years ago… Lots of relatives, especially my beloved mum, have passed away without ever having had any minimum contact ( phone, messages, etc)… My brothers, nephews, and hundreds of colleagues and thousands of students are still
