Outside "re-education" and detention facilities Uyghurs are subjected to government "homestays." Maybe (unfortunately) not headline worthy, but as I've been repeating for three years, this program is one of the most invasive. These faces shouldn't be forgotten either.

Remember when the CCP publicly denied the existence of "re-education" anythings while in #Xinjiang they operated facilities they call 集中教育转化中心, took photos of them and shared them on government-run social media?

Rare glimpse inside a village night class in Yeken. These night classes are common (and mandatory) throughout rural Uyghur and Kazakh communities. I believe the cadre is leading the "class" in the song "My fatherland" 我的祖国

我能不能占用您几分钟的时间？想象一下这种十分可怕的情况。您在美国，英国等等国家留学很想念父母。不过，联系他们的话，父母会被警察抓走。遇到经济问题，可是父母没法解决。想看家人，可是不敢回国。一降落机场你会被抓走。您的维族同胞在这些条件下进行了英勇的斗争，可是需要你们的支持与帮助

More pictures from this brave Uyghur who sent dozens to me: a mosque being destroyed (with coordinates). Satellite imagery seems to confirm. 2021 the mosque is still standing; appears to have been leveled sometime in 2022

Officials have insisted that "re-education" centers provide detainees with essential vocational skills that will improve their employability, yet here they are performing what is virtually a drill inspection 汇报演出 dressed in Confucian robes and moving to choreographed dances

At the height of detentions, various locales in Guma County held almost daily mass lectures over 10 days for family members of detainees. In total, over 23,000 people attended. The collective despair is heartbreaking.

In Xinjiang, especially if you are Uyghur, it isn’t a matter of IF you endure incarceration but rather what form you suffer: imprisonment, “re-education,” house arrest, home stays, 24-hour surveillance/security checkpoints and constant fear/uncertainty

Summer 2017, I was to meet my friend in Urumchi but he never answered my texts. Weeks later, he posted a pic of himself-he looked unwell. Thankfully he was able to return to the US where he shared his story (he's permitted me to reveal that I'm the author)

The correct Uyghur toponym should probably be Shorchuq شورچۇق, which appears to have a long history. Therefore, in reality, this example demonstrates linguistic erasure and terriotrial desettlement.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone, but I want to show others the disgusting, inhumane depths people are willing to go to try to "debunk" the Uyghur crisis? Making up fake dates on pictures I've posted of missing scholar Rahile Dawut. The photo was taken June 10, 2014.

Impressions of Kashgar and Atush from a Han tourist: security checks are numerous, but [according to the guide] there are no more theives, women can’t veil, men can’t grow long beard, and kindergarteners only study Chinese, and mixed Han-Uyghur marriages are 50000 RMB

one of the dumbest Uyghur denialism arguments out there. bc a govt has never used a representation of indigenous people on it currency while it was actively oppressing them (the "buffalo" coin was minted from 1910s-30s when Native American boarding schools were at their height)

I’m always careful about sharing videos of those I don’t know the origins, but I just spoke to someone in Kashgar who witnessed the rehearsal, so this one seems legit.

Chinese government asked people in Kashgar to prepare dance for the Eid tomorrow. Yes we dance Sama in front of the mosque every Eid, but we never rehearsal it one day earlier, we don't dance thatway, because we all know how to dance. This style is just for the show, not natural.
