Heute erscheint mein Buch über das Jahrhundertverbrechen Chinas gegen die Uiguren und andere ethnische Gruppen in Xinjiang: Wie der chinesische Staat dazu kam, die totalitären Methoden des 20. Jh wieder zu beleben - mit den Mitteln von heute.

Our incredible partners in this investigation were @occrp and @BelarusFiles.

[Mathias Boelinger @mare_porter]

My colleagues @juliahahntv and Jonathan Crane have done amazing work with partners to track the mysterious disappearance of Belarusian dissident Anatol Kotau. Their findings suggest he was taken by Russian security forces - possibly on Belarus' request. https://t.co/oZbpA6aEoP

EXCLUSIVE: How the track foreigners in China - We got rare access to demo system developed by the Ministry of Public Security in China for the prefecture of Zhangjiakou, to track and surveil foreigners visiting or being residents ( actually it applies to most nationals as well, but in this case it seems to be aimed at foreigners ). It is officially known as "Dynamic control platform for overseas personnel". 1/12

That's an important update on how repression in the Uyghur Region works today after it has become less visible to foreign visitors.

[Simina Mistreanu @SiminaMistreanu]

Authorities in the city of Kashgar last October warned residents against listening to, storing or sharing a wide range of Uyghur-language songs. The ban spanned folk ballads, rap tunes and everything in between. https://t.co/rCN31QgM5w

This is a very welcomed development, but we need to continue to support Guan Heng and monitor how his case unfolds.

[Mathias Boelinger @mare_porter]

My colleagues @joeldullroy and @LewSanders uncovered a very disturbing story: A Christian charity sent undercover agents to rescue children from sex traffficking in the Philippines. These men abused the children. Full doc here: https://t.co/Hz2WaEwHyu

@RomanPilipey @AFPphoto @AFP Congrats, Roma. What a powerful photo.

Several international NGOs have limited their language and advocacy on the topic of Gaza out of fear that Israel might otherwise refuse them permits to operate in the Palestinian territories. https://t.co/eOUIChWCnK

[Naomi Conrad @NaomiConrad]

Aid workers accuse humanitarian organizations of censoring their language on #Gaza. I felt, one former aid worker said, that I was "being asked to lie". They fear Israel might otherwise refuse them permits to operate in the Palestinian territories. https://t.co/k2Q4sSwrYM

[Naomi Conrad @NaomiConrad]

Our latest for DW: Several international aid organizations have restricted their language and advocacy on the topic of Gaza. They fear that the Israeli government might otherwise refuse them the permits they need to operate.

Inciting war from abroad: 'War influencers' are calling for violence in their native Somalia while residing in Germany. Check out this investigation by my colleagues @EstherFelden and @_MarielMueller together with @ARDKontraste https://t.co/6XJSGXAOMA

Breaking: Xinjiang gets new party secretary as Ma Xingrui is replaced by Chen Xiaojiang, deputy United Front Work Department minister and the first ethnic Han appointed director of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission.

Chen affirms primacy of stability in Xinjiang:👇

[James Millward 米華健 @JimMillward]

What's been happening in the Uyghur region? it's still dire: 500k-1m detained in prisons and new kanshousuo; forced institutionalization of non-Han young, old in boarding schools, nursing homes while working age non-Han pushed to distant forced labor.

About a month ago one of those 48 Uyghurs left me WhatsApp voice messages, he said “instead of sending us back to China Thai government should kill us here in the free world”

[Nyrola @nyrola]

More trucks have left the IDC, and they are now blocking the expressways, making it impossible to follow.

[Nyrola @nyrola]

I've heard from a few reliable sources that Thailand's Immigration Detention Centers appear to be preparing—positioning trucks, setting up tunnel tents, and deploying additional personnel at IDC Suan Phlu. They are not allowing journalists to film there this evening.#Uyghurs

[Nyrola @nyrola]

Case workers informed me the reliable sources have identified Feb 27th as a deportation date.

[Omer Kanat @OmerKanat1]

Tonight, Idris Hasan is free. He suffered more than 3 years in detention in Morocco, due to the Chinese government’s abuse of the Interpol RED notice system. We are so grateful to welcome him. Whenever it is possible to rescue even one Uyghur, we must do it.

[Mathias Boelinger @mare_porter]

@TheBuzzito There are no plans. It would require a publisher in an english speaking country to commission and publish it, that has not happened so far.
