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.

This is widespread genocide.

How is China punishing her for encouraging Right-Wing terrorism any different from the US punishing Right-Wing terrorism? Why is it only bad when China does it?
What exact behaviour is she accused of that is right wing extremism?
It sounds like you need to read up on why China is imprisoning and surveilling Muslims because you don’t know.
You have details about her case you’d care to share?
