I worked for @RadioFreeAsia’s Uyghur Service and know what total information control looks like. RFA Uyghur Service bravely exposed the camps before the world believed they existed, documented the surveillance state, and traced forced labor into global supply chains—reporting that contributed to the U.S. genocide determination and the passage of the UFLPA. The Uyghur Service was also the first to uncover and report on my sister Dr. Gulshan Abbas’s unjust sentencing—information that would otherwise have remained buried under the regime’s enforced silence. Last May, RFA shut down the Uyghur Service. Since then, the region has become a black hole, with Beijing committing atrocities behind a wall of silence. Some services have resumed, but the Uyghur Service remains limited to under 15 minutes a week—the only independent Uyghur-language news source in the world. The CCP thrives in darkness. That’s why full restoration of the Uyghur Service is very important. Thank you @bayfang & @heresrohit.
