Docs are a little harder to find these days since the CCP scrubbed social media, but a significant update has been added re: detentions. Now the collection >350 docs & 1000s of pages (unlike @nytimes, it's publicly available). (hosted on a new link) https://t.co/6AhcaWo8KI

Professor Dr Rahile Davut, a world-renowned academic, was merely an innocent scholar doing her job and abiding by Chinese law.
Her only "crime" was researching the deep-rooted, authentic Uyghur folklore and Sufism. Because of this, she has been missing since 2018.
Every academic who upholds scholarly integrity and cannot be bought must claim her, because the most basic ethical or moral stance demands it.

@vijayprashad @t_ings in 2021, Mämät Jümä—the head imam of Id Kah Mosque and son of the assassinated Jümä Tahir—stated that communal prayers attracted about 900 worshippers—down from 5,000 a decade earlier. https://t.co/xtKM9oYXHI
