Chinese Oppression is a Personal Affront to All People

I was wrong. This was not another gig. I found that out the evening we chatted with Mihrigul Tursun, a member of the Uyghurs, a mostly Muslim ethnic group from northwest China. Under Xi Jinping, the Chinese government has subjected the Uyghurs to mass detention, surveillance and a campaign to erase their culture and faith. Tursun, 36, told us that her newborn son — one of triplets — had been killed by the Chinese Communist Party and that she was tortured in internment camps. She has lost most of the hearing in her right ear.
