Uyghur torchbearer for 2008 Beijing Olympics serving 14-year sentence in Xinjiang

A Uyghur who served as a torchbearer in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and was a loyal Chinese government official is serving a 14-year jail sentence for watching counter-revolutionary videos, caught in a crackdown on the ethnic minority group, officials in Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi said.

Adil Abdurehim, a member of the Chinese Communist Party and a former employee of the Culture and Sports Bureau of Saybagh district in Urumqi (in Chinese, Wulumuqi) has been in prison for five years, said a local police officer.

Since Steve Kerr asked about when people will do something to protect children, I wonder when will people do something about #Uyghur, #HongKongers & #Tibetans? Should we start making a list of those politicians who refuse to criticize #CCPChina for #UyghurGenocide? I'm sure the list is very surprising!

#UN rights chief falls under wheels of China's propaganda machine

Beijing's propaganda machine has outwitted the UN human rights chief on her visit to China, campaigners say, leaving the envoy accused of playing a role in whitewashing abuses against minorities in Xinjiang.

"She must have the political courage and integrity to speak out when her words and her visit are being distorted," said Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute. "If she is not prepared and able to do so, she should not visit."

Michelle Bachelet's long-planned trip in late May has taken her to the far-western region where Beijing is accused of imprisoning over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, forcibly sterlising women and running labour camps that fuel global supply chains.

The United States and multiple western lawmakers have labelled the actions a "genocide", allegations vehemently denied by China which says it has only conducted necessary security operations to squash extremism and beef up development.

Bachelet has come under fire from rights groups and Uyghurs overseas, who say she has been suckered into a slickly choreographed Communist Party tour including a conversation with President Xi Jinping later portrayed in state media as a mutual endorsement of China's high ideals on rights.

It is "as clear as day" that China has so far used the visit "to promote its own narrative and defend its poor human rights record", said Alkan Akad, a China researcher at Amnesty.

The goal is "to show the world that it can bend a top UN human rights official -- and thus the very concept of human rights -- to its will," said Maya Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch.

London-based Uyghur activist Rahima Mahmut slammed the visit as "window dressing".

"This is not the neutral, independent, unfettered investigation that we were promised," she told AFP.

Instead, Beijing was seeking "a free pass to continue carrying out repression, surveillance, torture and genocide against communities like mine", she added.

The hard details of what Bachelet saw and who she met during the visit have been largely withheld on a trip carried out in a "closed loop" by order of Beijing, ostensibly due to Covid risks.

China has filled the information vacuum, with state media running gleeful readouts of meetings between her and Xi as well as foreign minster Wang Yi.

They reported that Bachelet said she "admired China's efforts and achievements in ... protecting human rights" during the virtual call with Xi.

A spokesperson for Bachelet did not confirm whether the reports were accurate when contacted by AFP, instead saying the UN would not publish readouts of bilateral meetings.

A later, hurried "clarification" by the UN stopped short of denying that she had praised China's rights record. But neither side mentioned Xinjiang in their readouts.

Norway-based Uyghur activist Abduweli Ayup said he was "disappointed" that Bachelet had appeared to allow Beijing to "misinterpret" her words.
"They have already used (her) for propaganda," he told AFP.

Multiple Chinese News outlets from Taiwan and HK reported that the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party will be held in fall. By then, #XiJinPing will fully take over #CCP. By then, his power over the party can only be compared to Mao Zedong.

The PLA will also be expected to unite China, which also means to take over #Taiwan through military means.

He is expected to stay in position for at least another 10 years.

This means the China crackdown in #HongKong, #Xinjiang, #Uyghur, and recently, #Macau, will at least last for another 10 years if nothing is to be done.

The ambition of Xi, isn't just aiming to have complete control over every #HongKongers, #Taiwanese, #Tibetans and #Uyghur, but everyone. Now that there is at least 1 surveillance camera with facial recognition for every 2 citizens in China, they are also planning to do the same outside of the country. Apps like tiktok and zoom help #CCP to gather information, saving users biometrics into their big data and possibly stealing useful information that can become a national threat to other countries.

Five more Chinese companies have been added to the U.S. trade restricted list, as they were accused of suppressing the #Uyghur minority. All five newly-added companies are subsidiaries of #China's Hikvision, a maker of surveillance cameras.
