English translation of this thread!
Having written about Xinjiang for three years, I’ve been asking myself repeatedly: why must I write about what’s happening in the Uighur community? How great of a risk am I taking? Is it worth it? I have several points I want to make. 1/

Remember when the left was coherent enough to support indigenous rights in Tibet and Free Tibet was even as much if a rallying cry as supporting Mandela.
How far it's fallen. Which is devastating.
Twitter notified me that I've been on this platform for 13 years. Brings me back. #MyTwitterAnniversary

Looks like someone does not want me to read their posts. Maybe it’s because they just can’t handle critics?
Twitter should set up a rule: officials from a country that bans Twitter are not allowed to use the service.
That makes the internet cleaner.

Apple Daily, a pro-democracy newspaper, has long been one of Hong Kong's most aggressive outlets. But after several executives were arrested, it's both a target and a test case of the government’s authority over the media. nyti.ms/33Umuv6

HK Journalists Association @HKJA_Official calls on @hkpoliceforce to immediately cancel the arrangement of “allowing some trusted media to conduct reporting behind cordon line” as it will be defacto screening and violate press freedom.

1/ If you travel to Uyghur communities unable to read and speak Uyghur and/or Chinese, you are essentially blind and deaf to the state's everyday violence. Let's begin in Kashgar with the "illegal religious activities" posted outside every religious site (take note of #20)
