Joshua Wong's Phone Allegedly Hacked by the Police Under Warrantless Condition
From Joshua Wong's Twitter, December 19, 2019
//1. Arrested on August 30, my phone was seized by #hkpolice. The phone can only be unlocked with passwords. Before court resumed yesterday, I have NEVER provided any passwords to #police, nor received any notice nor warrant for a search of my mobile device.
2. However, #hkpolice yesterday submitted an evidence list, which allegedly included 4 text messages of mine from iPhone XR. Police can even identify how the messages were sent out, whether it's from a mobile or desktop version of the app.
3. Since such functions can't be found on ordinary user interface, that can only be possible with the help of state-sponsored hacking. It's utterly alarming that police begins to hack mobile devices of #HKers, just like #China hacking iPhones & Android devices to target #Uyghurs.
4. Such warrantless search is also a blunt violation of the freedom & privacy of communication enshrined in Basic Law. I doubt whether such a search is lawful. Now it seems state-backed hackers get involved in the crackdown on HK movement. I urge to strengthen your cybersecurity.//

In China’s Crackdown on Muslims, Children Have Not Been Spared
As many as a million ethnic Uighurs, Kazakhs and others have been sent to internment camps and prisons in Xinjiang over the past three years, an indiscriminate clampdown aimed at weakening the population’s devotion to Islam. Even as these mass detentions have provoked global outrage, though, the Chinese government is pressing ahead with a parallel effort targeting the region’s children.
Nearly a half million children have been separated from their families and placed in boarding schools so far, according to a planning document published on a government website, and the ruling Communist Party has set a goal of operating one to two such schools in each of Xinjiang’s 800-plus townships by the end of next year.

Confirmed arrests of human rights lawyers and dissidents who gathered in Xiamen, China in December 2019
A number of human rights lawyers and dissidents had a gathering in Xiamen last month. These people, including Ding Jia Xi, a member of the “New Citizens Movement” and a previously imprisoned human rights lawyer, and Zhang Zhong Shun, a former teacher at the Yantai University, were confirmed to be arrested on the charge of inciting subversion of state power. Pang Jiang, Ding’s lawyer, said he has submitted a request to Yantai East Municipal Public Security Bureau to meet with Ding.
Another arrestee, Zhang, was arrested at home in Shangdong, and was charged inciting subversion of state power. He is under surveillance at residence now. He has been arrested before for using video footage of Tiananmen Square Protest in his class.
On 13 Dec 2019, a group of human right lawyers and dissidents attended a gathering to discuss current issues, politics, and the future of China, and shared the experiences of civil society infrastructure promotion. Afterwards, Shangdong police established a special investigation team. The cross-province arrests started on 12 Dec 2019. At least 4 of them were arrested on the charge of inciting subversion of state power. All of them are under surveillance at residence now. After the “709 Incident,” authority targeted civil movements for massive arrests again. Xu Zhiyong, the initiator of the “New Citizens Movement,” said he worried about the massive arrest and started to flee.

A reader has asked us to raise awareness about how on Chinese social media, there are no news on #Xinjiang at all. They also pointed out that it’s childish for some people to brush away all reports of CCP atrocities as stories made up by American media. A lot of Chinese people know that #CCP has fucked up their country, but they are censored. We must learn and preserve the truth!

Amnesty International Report Describes Xinjiang's Situation as a “Dystopian Hell Landscape"
Amnesty International characterized the Chinese government’s actions against the Turkic Muslim population as a “crime against humanity” on Thursday (10 June). They publish a 160-page report, stating Uyghurs and Muslim minorities in Xinjiang are facing systematic abuse, including the torture tool “tiger chair” that a slight move can lead to great pain to the person in the seat.
Recently, many governments and international organizations accuse China of human rights violations. Among them, Amnesty International has been investigating the Xinjiang issue for years. This report describes the Chinese government's intention to remove Muslim cultures and traditions within the territory by different means. The report also states the government regards Turkic Muslim in the region as “extremists”. The report alleges that since most Xinjiang people are afraid of being imprisoned or badly treated, they stop praying nor following any act of Islam observance, including clothing, retouching and speech. Some locals said to Amnesty International, “We cannot say 'let peace be with you (as-salamu-alaykum)'. The government even ban Koran, prayer mats and other religious products.
The report also quotes evidence from Turkic Muslim that they are detained in Chinese government-called “re-education camps", with abuse by the authority. Turkic Muslim women were even forced to accept the system of sterilization or birth control.
