China is under severe criticism again — not from Trump this time but from PEN America, an organization that hovers between human rights and literature.
That there are re-education camps in China where millions of Uighurs and residents of Xinjiang get re-educated is a fact that is coming under focus now. This time, it seems they sent seventy-year-old Nurmuhammad Tohti, a Uighur writer for re- education and he died.
According to his grand daughter who lives in Canada, he was not treated for his medical condition, diabetes and heart disease.
