Oh, such a pity Duchess isn’t here any more. This would have really got up her skirt.
Some excerpts:
“Thousands of photographs from the heart of China’s highly secretive system of mass incarceration in Xinjiang, as well as a shoot-to-kill policy for those who try to escape, are among a huge cache of data hacked from police computer servers in the region.
The Xinjiang Police Files, as they’re being called, were passed to the BBC earlier this year. After a months-long effort to investigate and authenticate them, they can be shown to offer significant new insights into the internment of the region’s Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities.
They paint a picture of relentless internment in both camps and prisons, with row upon row documenting the prejudicial prying of Chinese officials sent deep into Uyghur society - backed with big data surveillance tools – to arbitrarily detain at will.
There are countless examples of people being punished retrospectively for “crimes” that took place years or even decades ago - with one man jailed for 10 years in 2017 for having “studied Islamic scripture with his grandmother” for a few days in 2010.
The spreadsheets show how lives are sifted in search of the slightest of pretexts, which are turned into the broadest of charges - “picking quarrels” or “disturbing the social order” - and then punished as serious acts of terrorism; seven years, 10 years, 25 years, the columns of sentences stretch on and on.
They show what appear to be drills for subduing inmates - using similar methods to those described in the police documents for the camps - but this time in a detention centre.“

Monsters. Some leftists in the US would love to have such control.

And that's Alt-Right stuff and you know it
@shavixmir saidA Muslim got 10 years in jail...for studying Islam.

That is a such a cartoonish level of evil.
I wonder why China would keep such detailed records of people who were "arbitrarily" detained in secret. If the reasons for locking them up were B.S. in the first place (and never meant to be discovered) what is the point of storing such files? Just doesn't make sense.
And how does such a highly secretive, repressive government that so heavily monitors internet access get hacked?
I'm the last person to defend China but some things just aren't adding up. Maybe I need to read into this further.

ironic, isn't it?
@vivify saidAlthough elections are held in the country regularly, outside observers have described such elections as a sham and view the form of government as a dictatorship. The regime has been accused of human rights abuses and other crimes against humanity. However, North Korea considers itself a democracy and the regime has strongly denied such allegations.
North Korea's official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The people vote. Unless the voting is proven to be fraudulent, NK is a democracy. My *opinion*
