The Chinese government isn’t letting up on its repression of Uyghurs. It’s setting a dangerous example of how to use “anti-terrorism” to justify authoritarian practices.

Besides bin Salman, other leaders regarded as strong advocates for Muslims have also signed on to what might be called the “Uyghur Exception.” In 2017, Pakistan’s current prime minister, Imran Khan, while still in the political opposition party, condemned the “hypocrisy” of the international community in failing to protect the rights of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar; Khan also has criticized human rights violations against Muslim Kashmiris.

    Nah there are so many other problems out there but this is fucking disgraceful and nobody as in no government gives a shit. They are completely left alone while the world lets the Uyghur genocide happen. I had a good laugh when China tried to jump on the pro-Palestine bandwagon to destabilize. Like yeah, you care about human rights Winnie.
